3.Introduction:
An AC voltage controller is a converter that controls the voltage, current, and power delivered to an AC load from
an AC source. Figure 1 shows a single-phase AC voltage controller using two thyristor. In the positive half cycle
of the input, thyristor T1 is forward biased and allows the current to pass through. Whilein the negative half cycle,
thyristor T2 is forward biased and allows the current to pass through, thus maintaining a bidirectional
current in the load.
