Lecture 5: ½ Wave
Controlled Rectifiers
Rectifier with Resistive Load
•The amount of power delivered to the load
is controlled by the firing angle α.
•For resistive load, the vd is the replica
(similar to input with no phase shift) of input.
•The average voltage at load is:
where Vdo is the maximum possible value of <vd>.
•The <vd> as a function of α is called control
characteristic of rectifier.

Lecture 5: ½ Wave
Controlled Rectifiers
Rectifier with RL Load and FWD
Problem 5.4 (Kassakian) Derive and plot
<vd>=f(α). Is this capable of inversion?
•During +ve ½ cycle trigger pulse is applied to
the SCR gate.
•Due to FWD vd will never go –ve so <vd> will
be always non-negative, hence inversion is not
possible.
Lecture 5: ½ Wave
Controlled Rectifiers
Rectifier with R Load and FWD
Problem 5.5 (Kassakian) An SCR replaces the
FWD. Determine and plot control characteristic
for this converter.
•This is controlled ½ wave rectifier with
controlled FWD.
•Assuming L is large and iG1 is applied at α, Q1
conducts the id and vd=vs.
•If iG2 is applied at α+π and id will commute
through Q2 and vd becomes zero.
id flows from 0 to π through D1 and in -½ cycle flows through 11
D2, the change in path of current is called commutation.
Revision: Commutation in
Rectifiers with RL Load
Since id flows from 0 to extinction and starts again in
½ Wave Rectifiers next cycle, this mode is called discontinuous
Uncontrolled rectifier conduction.
•D is FB during +ve ½ cycle. id falls to 0 at β,
till then D continues conduction.
•vd continues till a portion of –ve ½ cycle.
Uncontrolled rectifier with FWD
•D1 is FB and D2 is RB during +ve ½ cycle. id=iD1.
vd=vs.
•D1 is RB during –ve ½ cycle, D2 is FB due to vL.
id=iD2. vd=0 (D2 is on/short circuit), hence no inversion. Since id flows from 0 to π and continues in next ½
cycle, this mode is called continuous conduction. If L is
small id may fall to zero before next cycle starts.

Revision: Commutation in
Rectifiers with RL Load
Since i flows from triggering to extinction and starts
½ Wave Rectifiers id=iD2. vd=0d(D2 is on/short circuit), hence no inversion.
again in next cycle when fired, this mode is called
Controlled rectifier discontinuous conduction.
•SCR is FB during +ve ½ cycle after triggered. id
falls to 0 at β, till then SCR continues conduction.
•vd continues till a portion of –ve ½ cycle, hence
inversion is possible.
Controlled rectifier with FWD
•SCR is FB after triggered and D2 is RB during +ve
½ cycle. id=iSCR.
•SCR is RB during –ve ½ cycle, D2 is FB due to vL. Since id flows from triggering to π and continues in
next ½ cycle due to FWD, this mode is called
continuous conduction. If L is small id may fall to zero
before next cycle starts.
