DISCUSSION
The input voltage of rectifier shown in Figure 2 shows a sinusoid graph with amplitude of
63.64V. The input current of the rectifier can be observed from 2nd graph of figure 2 which in on
positive side of the waveform. Thyristor gating signal is generated by pulse generator with amplitude
1 at firing angle of 45. From 0 until 45, the thyristor will be in forward bias and wont start working.
After 45, the thyristor will start to work and thus output voltage and output current waveform is
observed.
Output voltage of thyristor is equal to input voltage 63.64V from 45 onwards till 180. This
will repeat for every 180. The output current value can be found from the graph and be found by
dividing the output voltage value with resistor value. The firing angle is the angle interval between
forward biasing of thyristor and gate signal application. When it is reached, the thyristor will start to
work. The same concept applies when the firing angle is changed to 135.

CONCLUSION
From the experiment, the thyristor has the same function as diode but it has firing angle which
allows users to control on when it should operate. At 0 degree, the thyristor will work as diode. When
it reaches firing angle, thyristor will start to operate. Thus, thyristor can control output by adjusting
delay angle of thyristor
