Cycloconverter: A variable frequency supply for feeding a three phase motor can be obtained from a cycloconverter which operates on a 50 Hz supply and provides a variable frequency supply…

Voltage Control Techniques for Inverters: It has already been mentioned that Inverter Control providing a variable frequency supply to three phase motors should be capable of providing a variable voltage.…

Charging a Capacitor in Inverter: Charging a Capacitor in Inverter - Inverters are static power converters for converting dc to ac. By controlling the conducting periods of the thyristors it…

Two Quadrant Chopper: Sometimes a chopper may be required to provide a two quadrant operation by retaining the current direction in both motoring and braking modes. Such a Two Quadrant…

Chopper Circuit with Input Inductance: The preceding discussion of the chopper assumes ideal conditions and does not consider the effects of inductances in series with the thyristors. With choppers of…

DC Chopper: DC Chopper are mainly dc to dc single stage conversion devices which provide a variable voltage on the load side when fed from a constant dc voltage source.…

Sequence control of Converters: Sequence control of Converters - We have shown that fully controlled converters take lagging reactive power from the mains. This requirement is less in half controlled…

Bridge Rectifier Circuit Diagram with freewheeling diode: A 6 pulse Bridge Rectifier Circuit Diagram with freewheeling diode across the load terminals is shown in Fig. 3.58. As has already been…
