CONSTRUCTION & PRINCIPLE SCR with RL load SCR with Freewheeling Diode
The single-phase half-wave controlled rectifier uses a
The SCR is a four-layer, three-junction and a three- single SCR with a RL load and
terminal device and is shown in fig.a. The end P-region is also the output voltage and current waveform .In a
the anode, the end N-region is the cathode and the inner positive half cycle
P-region is the gate. The anode to cathode is connected of source voltage , SCR is forward biased and when gate
in series with the load circuit. Essentially the device is a current iG
switch. Ideally it remains off (voltage blocking state), or is applied to the gate terminal at firing angle α then SCR
appears to have an infinite impedance until both the starts to conduct. The output
anode and gate terminals have suitable positive voltages voltage will appear from ωt = α to ωt = π. At ωt = π,
with respect to the cathode terminal. thyristor goes turned OFF but current
does not decay to zero because of the energy stored in
inductor. The negative voltage will
appear from ωt = π to ωt = β. The load current decays to
zero at ωt = β and value of β
depends upon the ratio R/L. During ωt = β to ωt = 2π, the
output voltage is zero during this
period. The angle β is called extinction angle and γ = (β –
α) is called conduction angle.
