PRINCIPLE OF PHASE CONTROL
SCRs conduct load current for a chosen period of
each input cycle of voltage >0
is phase angle
Vo has DC component
T1 Conducts during
positive half cycle
T2 conducts during
negative half cycle

BIDIRECTIONAL ACVC
INDUCTIVE LOAD
Let us assume that the thyristor T1 is triggered by applying the gating signal
at wt= during to can be given by:
To
Calculate Extinction Angle
can be determined from this transcendental equation by using the
iterative method of solution (trial and error method).
Case 1: < and >
The load current waveform appears as a discontinuous current
waveform as shown earlier
