POWER ELECTRONICS
The control of electric motor drives requires control of electric power. Power electronics have
eased the concept of power control. Power electronics signifies the word power electronics

Power electronics based on the switching of power semiconductor devices. With the
development of power semiconductor technology, the power handling capabilities and
switching speed of power devices have been improved tremendously.
Power Semiconductor Devices
The first SCR was developed in late 1957. Power semiconductor devices are broadly
categorized into 3 types:
1. Power diodes
2. Transistors
3. Thyristors
(600V,4500A)
(10KV,300A,30MW)
Thyristor is a four layer three junction pnpn semiconductor switching device. It has 3
terminals these are anode, cathode and gate. SCRs are solid state device, so they are compact,
possess high reliability and have low loss.
SCR is made up of silicon, it act as a rectifier; it has very low resistance in the forward
direction and high resistance in the reverse direction. It is a unidirectional device.
Static V-I characteristics of a Thyristor
The circuit diagram for obtaining static V-I characteristics is as shown
Anode and cathode are connected to main source voltage through the load. The gate and
cathode are fed from source ๐ธ๐‘† .
A typical SCR V-I characteristic is as shown below:
๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ =Forward breakover voltage
๐‘‰๐ต๐‘… =Reverse breakover voltage
๐ผ๐‘” =Gate current
๐‘‰๐‘Ž =Anode voltage across the thyristor terminal A,K.
๐ผ๐‘Ž =Anode current
It can be inferred from the static V-I characteristic of SCR. SCR have 3 modes of
operation:
1. Reverse blocking mode
2. Forward blocking mode ( off state)
3. Forward conduction mode (on state)
1. Reverse Blocking Mode
When cathode of the thyristor is made positive with respect to anode with switch open
thyristor is reverse biased. Junctions ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ2 are reverse biased where junction ๐ฝ2 is
forward biased. The device behaves as if two diodes are connected in series with reverse
voltage applied across them.
๏‚ท
A small leakage current of the order of few mA only flows. As the thyristor is
reverse biased and in blocking mode. It is called as acting in reverse blocking
mode of operation.
๏‚ท
Now if the reverse voltage is increased, at a critical breakdown level called
reverse breakdown voltage ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘… ,an avalanche occurs at ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ3 and the reverse
current increases rapidly. As a large current associated with ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘… and hence more
losses to the SCR.
This results in Thyristor damage as junction temperature may exceed its maximum
temperature rise.
2. Forward Blocking Mode
When anode is positive with respect to cathode, with gate circuit open, thyristor is said to
be forward biased.
Thus junction ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ3 are forward biased and ๐ฝ2 is reverse biased. As the forward
voltage is increases junction ๐ฝ2 will have an avalanche breakdown at a voltage called
forward breakover voltage๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ . When forward voltage is less then ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ thyristor offers high
impedance. Thus a thyristor acts as an open switch in forward blocking mode.
3. Forward Conduction Mode
Here thyristor conducts current from anode to cathode with a very small voltage drop
across it. So a thyristor can be brought from forward blocking mode to forward
conducting mode:
1. By exceeding the forward breakover voltage.
2. By applying a gate pulse between gate and cathode.
During forward conduction mode of operation thyristor is in on state and behave like a
close switch. Voltage drop is of the order of 1 to 2mV. This small voltage drop is due to
ohmic drop across the four layers of the device.
Different turn ON methods for SCR
1. Forward voltage triggering
2. Gate triggering
3.
๐‘‘๐‘ฃ
๐‘‘๐‘ก
triggering
4. Light triggering
5. Temperature triggering
1. Forward voltage triggering
A forward voltage is applied between anode and cathode with gate circuit open.
๏‚ท
๏‚ท
๏‚ท
๏‚ท
Junction ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ3 is forward biased.
Juntion ๐ฝ2 is reverse biased.
As the anode to cathode voltage is increased breakdown of the reverse biased junction
๐ฝ2 occurs. This is known as avalanche breakdown and the voltage at which this
phenomena occurs is called forward breakover voltage.
The conduction of current continues even if the anode cathode voltage reduces below
๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ till ๐ผ๐‘Ž will not go below๐ผโ„Ž . Where ๐ผโ„Ž is the holding current for the thyristor.
2. Gate triggering
This is the simplest, reliable and efficient method of firing the forward biased SCRs. First
SCR is forward biased. Then a positive gate voltage is applied between gate and cathode. In
practice the transition from OFF state to ON state by exceeding ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ is never employed as it
may destroy the device. The magnitude of ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ , so forward breakover voltage is taken as final
voltage rating of the device during the design of SCR application.
First step is to choose a thyristor with forward breakover voltage (say 800V) higher than the
normal working voltage. The benefit is that the thyristor will be in blocking state with normal
working voltage applied across the anode and cathode with gate open. When we require the
turning ON of a SCR a positive gate voltage between gate and cathode is applied. The point
to be noted that cathode n- layer is heavily doped as compared to gate p-layer. So when gate
supply is given between gate and cathode gate p-layer is flooded with electron from cathode
n-layer. Now the thyristor is forward biased, so some of these electron reach junction ๐ฝ2 .As a
result width of ๐ฝ2 breaks down or conduction at ๐ฝ2 occur at a voltage less than ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ .As ๐ผ๐‘”
increases ๐‘‰๐ต๐‘‚ reduces which decreases then turn ON time. Another important point is
duration for which the gate current is applied should be more then turn ON time. This means
that if the gate current is reduced to zero before the anode current reaches a minimum value
known as holding current, SCR can’t turn ON.
In this process power loss is less and also low applied voltage is required for triggering.
3. dv/dt triggering
This is a turning ON method but it may lead to destruction of SCR and so it must be avoided.
When SCR is forward biased, junction ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ3 are forward biased and junction ๐ฝ2 is
reversed biased so it behaves as if an insulator is place between two conducting plate. Here ๐ฝ1
and ๐ฝ3 acts as a conducting plate and ๐ฝ2 acts as an insulator. ๐ฝ2 is known as junction capacitor.
So if we increase the rate of change of forward voltage instead of increasing the magnitude of
voltage. Junction ๐ฝ2 breaks and starts conducting. A high value of changing current may
๐‘‘๐‘ฃ
damage the SCR. So SCR may be protected from high ๐‘‘๐‘ก .
๐‘ž = ๐‘๐‘ฃ
๐ผ๐‘Ž = ๐‘
๐ผ๐‘Ž ๐›ผ
๐‘‘๐‘ฃ
๐‘‘๐‘ก
๐‘‘๐‘ฃ
๐‘‘๐‘ก
4. Temperature triggering
During forward biased, ๐ฝ2 is reverse biased so a leakage forward current always associated
with SCR. Now as we know the leakage current is temperature dependant, so if we increase
the temperature the leakage current will also increase and heat dissipitation of junction
๐ฝ2 occurs. When this heat reaches a sufficient value ๐ฝ2 will break and conduction starts.
Disadvantages
This type of triggering causes local hot spot and may cause thermal run away of the device.
This triggering cannot be controlled easily.
It is very costly as protection is costly.
5. Light triggering
First a new recess niche is made in the inner p-layer. When this recess is irradiated, then free
charge carriers (electron and hole) are generated. Now if the intensity is increased above a
certain value then it leads to turn ON of SCR. Such SCR are known as Light activated SCR
(LASCR).
Some definitions:
Latching current
The latching current may be defined as the minimum value of anode current which at must
attain during turn ON process to maintain conduction even if gate signal is removed.
Holding current
It is the minimum value of anode current below which if it falls, the SCR will turn OFF.
Switching characteristics of thyristors
The time variation of voltage across the thyristor and current through it during turn on
and turn off process gives the dynamic or switching characteristic of SCR.
Switching characteristic during turn on
Turn on time
It is the time during which it changes from forward blocking state to ON state. Total turn
on time is divided into 3 intervals:
1. Delay time
2. Rise time
3. Spread time
Delay time
If ๐ผ๐‘” and ๐ผ๐‘Ž represent the final value of gate current and anode current. Then the delay time
can be explained as time during which the gate current attains 0.9 ๐ผ๐‘” to the instant anode
current reaches 0.1 ๐ผ๐‘” or the anode current rises from forward leakage current to 0.1 ๐ผ๐‘Ž .
1. Gate current 0.9 ๐ผ๐‘” to 0.1 ๐ผ๐‘Ž .
2. Anode voltage falls from ๐‘‰๐‘Ž to 0.9๐‘‰๐‘Ž .
3. Anode current rises from forward leakage current to 0.1 ๐ผ๐‘Ž .
Rise time (๐’•๐’“ )
Time during which
1. Anode current rises from 0.1 ๐ผ๐‘Ž to 0.9 ๐ผ๐‘Ž
2. Forward blocking voltage falls from 0.9๐‘‰๐‘Ž to 0.1๐‘‰๐‘Ž . ๐‘‰๐‘Ž is the initial forward blocking
voltage.
Spread time (๐’•๐’‘ )
1. Time taken by the anode current to rise from 0.9๐ผ๐‘Ž to๐ผ๐‘Ž .
2. Time for the forward voltage to fall from 0.1๐‘‰๐‘œ to on state voltage drop of 1 to 1.5V.
During turn on, SCR is considered to be a charge controlled device. A certain amount
of charge is injected in the gate region to begin conduction. So higher the magnitude
of gate current it requires less time to inject the charges. Thus turn on time is reduced
by using large magnitude of gate current.
How the distribution of charge occurs?
As the gate current begins to flow from gate to cathode with the application of gate
signal. Gate current has a non uniform distribution of current density over the cathode
surface. Distribution of current density is much higher near the gate. The density decrease
as the distance from the gate increases. So anode current flows in a narrow region near
gate where gate current densities are highest. From the beginning of rise time the anode
current starts spreading itself. The anode current spread at a rate of 0.1mm/sec. The
spreading anode current requires some time if the rise time is not sufficient then the anode
current cannot spread over the entire region of cathode. Now a large anode current is
applied and also a large anode current flowing through the SCR. As a result turn on losses
is high. As these losses occur over a small conducting region so local hot spots may form
and it may damage the device.
Switching Characteristics During Turn Off
Thyristor turn off means it changed from ON to OFF state. Once thyristor is oON there is
no role of gate. As we know thyristor can be made turn OFF by reducing the anode
current below the latching current. Here we assume the latching current to be zero
ampere. If a forward voltage is applied across the SCR at the moment it reaches zero then
SCR will not be able to block this forward voltage. Because the charges trapped in the 4layer are still favourable for conduction and it may turn on the device. So to avoid such a
case, SCR is reverse biased for some time even if the anode current has reached to zero.
So now the turn off time can be different as the instant anode current becomes zero to the
instant when SCR regains its forward blocking capability.
๐‘ก๐‘ž =๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ÿ +๐‘ก๐‘ž๐‘Ÿ
Where,
๐‘ก๐‘ž is the turn off time,๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ÿ is the reverse recovery time, ๐‘ก๐‘ž๐‘Ÿ is the gate recovery time
At ๐‘ก1 anode current is zero. Now anode current builds up in reverse direction with same
๐‘‘๐‘ฃ
๐‘‘๐‘ก
slope. This is due to the presence of charge carriers in the four layers. The reverse
recovery current removes the excess carriers from ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ3 between the instants ๐‘ก1 and๐‘ก3 .
At instant ๐‘ก3 the end junction ๐ฝ1 and ๐ฝ3 is recovered. But ๐ฝ2 still has trapped charges which
decay due to recombination only so the reverse voltage has to be maintained for some
more time. The time taken for the recombination of charges between ๐‘ก3 and ๐‘ก4 is called
gate recovery time ๐‘ก๐‘ž๐‘Ÿ . Junction ๐ฝ2 recovered and now a forward voltage can be applied
across SCR.
The turn off time is affected by:
1. Junction temperature
2. Magnitude of forward current
๐‘‘๐‘–
๐‘‘๐‘ก
during commutation.
Turn off time decreases with the increase of magnitude of reverse applied voltage.
GTO(Gate turn off thyristor)
A gate turn off thyristor is a pnpn device. In which it can be turned ON like an ordinary SCR
by a positive gate current. However it can be easily turned off by a negative gate pulse of
appropriate magnitude.
Conventional SCR are turned on by a positive gate signal but once the SCR is turned on gate
loses control over it. So to turn it off we require external commutation circuit. These
commutation circuits are bulky and costly. So due to these drawbacks GTO comes into
existence.
The salient features of GTO are:
1. GTO turned on like conventional SCR and is turned off by a negative gate signal of
sufficient magnitude.
2. It is a non latching device.
3. GTO reduces acoustic and electromagnetic noise.
It has high switching frequency and efficiency.
A gate turn off thyristor can turn on like an ordinary thyristor but it is turn off by negative
gate pulse of appropriate magnitude.
Disadvantage
The negative gate current required to turn off a GTO is quite large that is 20% to 30 % of
anode current
Advantage
It is compact and cost less
Switching performance
1. For turning ON a GTO first TR1is turned on.
2. This in turn switches on TR2 so that a positive gate current pulse is applied to turn on the
GTO.
3. Thyristor ๐‘‡1 is used to apply a high peak negative gate current pulse.
Gate turn-on characteristics
1. The gate turn on characteristics is similar to a thyristor. Total turn on time consists of
delay time, rise time, spread time.
2. The turn on time can be reduced by increasing its forward gate current.
GATE TURN OFF
Turn off time is different for SCR.Turn off characteristics is divied into 3 pd
1. Storage time
2. Fall time
3. Tail time
Tq=ts+tf+tt
At normal operating condition gto carries a steady state current.The turn off process
starts as soon as negative current is applied after t=0.
STORAGE TIME
During the storagepd the anode voltage and current remains constant.The gate current rises
depending upon the gate circuit impedance and gate applied voltage.The beginning of pd is as soon
as negative gate current is applied.The end of storage pd is marked by fall in anode current and
rise in voltage,what we have to do is remove the excess carriers.the excess carriers are removed by
negative carriers.
FALL TIME
After ts, anode current begins to fall rapidly and anode voltage starts rising.After falling to a certain
value,then anode current changes its rate to fall.this time is called fall time.
SPIKE IN VOLTAGE
During the time of storage and fall timethere is achange in voltage due to abrupt current change.
TAIL TIME
During this time ,the anode current and voltage continues towards the turn off values.The transient
overshoot is due to the snubber parameter and voltage stabilizes to steady state value.
THE TRIAC
As SCR is a unidirectional device,the conduction is from anode to cathode and not from
cathode to anode. It conducts in both direction.It is a bidirectional SCR with three terminal.
TRIAC=TRIODE+AC
Here it is considered to be two SCRS connected in anti parallel.As it conducts in both
direction so it is named as MT1,MT2 and gate G.
SALIENT FEATURES
1.Bi directional triode thyristor
2.TRIAC means triode that works on ac
3.It conduct in both direction
4.It is a controlled device
5.Its operation is similar to two devices connected in anti parallel with common gate
connection.
6.It has 3 terminals MT1,MT2 and gate G
Its use is control of power in ac.
POWER BJT
Power BJT means a large voltage blocking in the OFF state and high current carrying capability in the
ON state. In most power application, base is the input terminal. Emitter is the common terminal.
Collector is the output terminal.
SIGNAL LEVEL OF BJT
n+ doped emitter layer ,doping of base is more than collector.Depletion layer exists more towards
the collector than emitter
POWER BJT CONSTRUCTION
The maxium collector emitter voltage that can be sustained across the junction, when it is
carrying substantial collector current.
Vceo=maxium collectorand emitter voltage that can be sustain by the device.
Vcbo=collector base breakdown voltage with emitter open
PRIMARY BREAKDOWN
It is due to convention avalanche breakdown of the C-B junction and its associated large
flow of current.The thickness of the depletion region determines the breakdown voltage of
the transistor.The base thickness is made as small as possible,in order to have good
amplification capability. If the thickness is too small, the breakdown voltage is
compromised.So a compromise has to be made between the two.
THE DOPING LEVELS1.The doping of the emitter layer is quite large.
2.The base doping is moderate.
3.n- region is lightly doped.
4.n+ region doping level is similar to emitter.
1.THICKNESS OF DRIFT REGIONIt determines the breakdown length of the transistor.
2.THE BASE THICKNES –
Small base thickness- good amplification capability
Too small base thickness- the breakdown voltage of the transistor has ti be compromised.
For a relatively thick base,the current gain will be relatively small.so it is increase the
gain.Monolithicesigns for darlington connected BJT pair have been deveploed.
SECONDARY BREAKDOWN
Secondary breakdown is due to large power disspation at localized site within the semi
conductor.
PHYSICS OF BJT OPERATIONThe transistor is assumed to operate in active region. There is no doped collector drift
region. It has importance only in switching operation, in active region of operation.
B-E junction is forward biased and C-B junction is reverse biased. Electrons are injected into
base from the emitter. Holes are injected from base into the emitter.
QUASI SATURATIONIntially we assume that, the transistor is in active region. Base current is allowed to increase
then lets see what happens.first collector rises in response to base current.So there is a
increase voltage drop across the collector load.So C-E voltage drops.
Because of increase in collector current, there is a increase in voltage in drift region. This
eventually reduces the reverse biased across the C-B junction.so n-p junction get
smaller, at some point the junction become forward bised. So now injection of holes from
base into collector drift region occurs. Charge neutrality requires the electron to be injected
in the drift region of the holes. From where these electron came. Since a large no of
electron is supplied to the C-B junction via injection from
emitter and subsequent
diffusion across the base. As excess carrier build up in the drift region begins to occur
quasi saturation region is entered. As the injected carrires increase in the drift region is
gradually shotred out and the voltage across the drift region drops. In quasi saturation the
drift region is not completely shorted out by high level injection.Hard saturation obtained
when excess carrier density reaches the n+ side.
During quasi saturation, the rate of the collector fall.Hard saturation occurs when excess
carriers have completely swept across the drift region .
THYRISTOR PROTECTION
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Over voltage occurring during the switching operation causes the failure of SCR.
INTERNAL OVERVOLTAGE
It is due to the operating condition of SCR.
During the commutation of SCR ,when the anode current decays to zero anode current
reverses due to stored changes. First the reverse current rises to peak value, then reverse
current reduces abruptly with large ๐‘‘๐‘–⁄๐‘‘๐‘ก . During
series inductance of SCR large
transient large voltage i.e ๐ฟ ๐‘‘๐‘–⁄๐‘‘๐‘ก. is generated.
EXTERNAL OVER VOLTAGE
This is due to external supply and load condition. This is because of
1. The interruption of current flow in an inductive circuit.
2. Lightening strokes on the lines feeding the thyristor systems.
Suppose a SCR converter is fed from a transformer, voltage transient occur when
transformer primary will energise or de-energised.
This overvoltages cause random turn ON of a SCR.
The effect of overvoltage is minimized using
1. RC circuits
2. Non linear resistor called voltage clamping device.
Voltage clamping device is a non linear resistor.It is connected between
cathode and anode of SCR. The resistance of voltage clamping device
decreases with increasing voltages. During normal working condition Voltage
clamping (V.C) device has high resistance, drawing only leakage current.
When voltage surge appears voltage clamping device offers a low resistance and it
create a virtual short circuit across the SCR. Hence voltage across SCR is
clamped to a safe value.
When surge condition over voltage clamping device returns to high resistance
state.
e.g. of voltage clamping device
1.Seleniumthyrector diodes
2.Metal Oxide varistors
3.Avalanche diode supressors
OVER CURRENT PROTECTION
Long duration operation of SCR, during over current causes the
1.junction temp. of SCR to rise above the rated value,causing permanent
damage to device.
SCR is protected from overcurrent by using
1.Circuit breakers
2.Fast acting fuses
Proper co-ordination is essential because
1..fault current has to be interrupted before SCR gets damaged.
2.only faulty branches of the network has to be replaced.
In stiff supply network,source has negligible impedance.So in such system
the magnitude and rate of rise of current is not limited.Fault current hence
junction temp rises in a few miliseconds.
POINTS TO BE NOTED1. Proper coordination between fast acting fuse and thyristor is essential.
2. The fuse is always rated to carry marginal overload current over
definite period.
3. The peak let through current through SCR must be less than sub cycle
rating of the SCR.
4. The voltage across the fuse during arcing time is called arcing or
recovery voltage and is equal to sum of the source voltage and emf
induced in the circuit inductance during arcing time.
5. On abrupt interruption of fuse current, induce emf would be high, which
results in high arcing voltage.
Circuit Breaker (C.B)
C.B. has long tripping time. So it is used for protecting the device against continuous
overload current or against the surge current for long duration. In order that fuse
protects the thyristor realiably the ๐ผ 2 ๐‘ก rating of fuse current must be less than that of
SCR.
ELECTRONIC CROWBAR PROTECTION
For overcurrent protection of power converter using SCR, electronic crowbar are
used. It provide rapid isolation of power converter before any damage
occurs.
HEAT PROTECTIONTo protect the SCR
1. From the local spots
2. Temp rise
SCRs are mounted over heat sinks.
GATE
PROTECTION-
Gate circuit should also be protected from
1. Overvoltages
2. Overcurrents
Overvoltage across the gate circuit causes the false triggering of SCR
Overcurrent raise the junction temperature. Overvoltage protection is by zener
the gate circuit.
diode across
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR(IGBT)BASIC CONSTRUCTIONThe n+ layer substrate at the drain in the power MOSFET is substituted by p+ layer substrate
and called as collector. When gate to emitter voltage is positive,n- channel is formed in the
p- region.This n- channel short circuit the n- and n+ layer and an electron movement in n
channel cause hole injection from p+subtrate layer to n- layer.
POWER MOSFET
A power MOSFET has three terminal device. Arrow indicates the direction of current
flow. MOSFET is a voltage controlled device. The operation of MOSFET depends on flow
of majority carriers only.

Switching Characteristics:The switching characteristic is influenced by
1. Internal capacitance of the device.
2. Internal impedance of the gate drive circuit.
Total turn on time is divided into
1.Turn on delay time
2.Rise time
Turn on time is affected by impedance of gate drive source. During turn on delay time gate
to source voltage attends its threshold value ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘†๐‘‡ .
After ๐‘ก๐‘‘๐‘› and during rise time gate to source voltage rise to ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘ ๐‘ , a voltage which is
sufficient to drive the MOSFET to ON state.
The turn off process is initiated by removing the gate to source voltage. Turn off time is
composed of turn off delay time to fall time.
Turn off delay time
To turn off the MOSFET the input capacitance has to be discharged . During ๐‘ก๐‘‘๐‘“ the input
capacitance discharge from ๐‘‰1to ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘ ๐‘ . During ๐‘ก๐‘“ , fall time ,the input capacitance discharges
from ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘ ๐‘ to ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘†๐‘‡ . During ๐‘ก๐‘“ drain current falls from ๐ผ๐ท to zero.
So when ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘  ≤ ๐‘‰๐บ๐‘†๐‘‡ , MOFSET turn off is complete.

๐‘ก๐‘‘๐‘“ = Time during which the gate emitter voltage falls to the threshold value ๐‘‰๐บ๐ธ๐‘‡ .
Collector current falls from Ic to 0.9Ic at the end of the ๐‘ก๐‘‘๐‘“ collector emitter voltage begins to
rise.
Turn off time = Collector current falls from 90% to 20% of its initial value Ic OR The time
during which collector emitter voltage rise from ๐‘‰๐ถ๐ธ to 0.1๐‘‰๐ถ๐ธ .
๐‘ก๐‘“2 = collector current falls from20% to 10% of Ic.
During this collector emitter voltage rise 0.1๐‘‰๐ถ๐ธ to final value of ๐‘‰๐ถ๐ธ .
Series and parallel operation of SCR
SCR are connected in series for h.v demand and in parallel for fulfilling high current
demand. Sting efficiency can be defined as measure of the degree of utilization on SCRs in a
string.
String efficiency < 1.
Derating factor (DRF)
1 – string efficiency.
If DRF more then
no. of SCRs will more, so string is more reliable.
Let the rated blocking voltage of the string of a series connected SCR is 2๐‘‰1 as shown in the
figure below, But in the string two SCRs are supplied a maximum voltage of ๐‘‰1 +๐‘‰2.
๐œ‚=
๐‘‰1 + ๐‘‰2
2๐‘‰1
Significance of string efficiency .
Two SCRs are have same forward blocking voltage ,When system voltage is more then the
voltage rating of a single SCR. SCRs are connected in series in a string.
There is a inherent variation in characteristics. So voltage shared by each SCR may not be
equal. Suppose, SCR1 leakage resistance > SCR2 leakage resistance. For same leakage
current ๐ผ0 in the series connected SCRs. For same leakage current SCR1 supports a voltage
๐‘‰1 , SCR2 supports a voltage ๐‘‰2,
So string ๐œ‚ for two SCRs =
So,
๐‘‰1 +๐‘‰2
2๐‘‰2
1
๐‘‰
= 2(1 + ๐‘‰2) < 1 .
1
๐‘‰1 > ๐‘‰2,
The above operation is when SCRs are not turned ON. But in steady state of operation , A
uniform voltage distribution in the state can be achieved by connect a suitable resistance
across each SCRs , so that parallel combination have same resistance.
But this is a cumbersome work. During steady state operation we connect same value of
shunt resistance across each SCRs. This shunt resistance is called state equalizing circuit.
Suppose,
Let SCR1 has lower leakage current ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘› , It will block a voltage comparatively larger than
other SCRs.
Voltage across SCR1 is ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š =๐ผ1 ๐‘….
Voltage across (n-1)SCR is (n-1) ๐ผ2 R, so the voltage equation for the series circuit is
Vs = ๐ผ1 ๐‘…+ (๐‘› − 1)๐ผ2 ๐‘… = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š + (n-1)R (๐ผ − ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘ฅ )
As ๐ผ1 = ๐ผ − ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘›
๐ผ2 = ๐ผ − ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘ฅ
So, Vs = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š + (n-1)R [๐ผ1 − (๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘ฅ − ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘› )]
If Δ๐ผ๐‘ = ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘ฅ − ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘›
Then Vs = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š +(n-1)R (๐ผ1 − Δ๐ผ๐‘ )
Vs = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š + (n-1)R ๐ผ1 -(n-1)R Δ๐ผ๐‘
R๐ผ1 = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š
So, Vs = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š+ (n-1) ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š -(n-1)R Δ๐ผ๐‘
= n ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - (n-1)R Δ๐ผ๐‘
⇒R =
๐‘›๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š −๐‘‰๐‘†
(n−1)Δ๐ผ๐‘
SCR data sheet usually contain only maximum blocking current , ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘ฅ
so we assume ๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘› = 0
So Δ๐ผ๐‘ =๐ผ๐‘๐‘š๐‘ฅ
So the value of R calculated is low than actually required.
SCRs having unequal dynamic characteristics:
It may occur that SCRS may have unequal dynamic characteristics so the voltage
distribution across the SCR may be unequal during the transient condition.
SCR 1 and SCR 2 have different dynamic characteristics. Turn ON time of SCR 2 is more
than SCR 1 by time Δ๐‘ก๐‘‘ .
As string voltage is ๐‘‰๐‘† so voltage shared by each SCRs be ๐‘‰๐‘† /2. Now both are gated at same
time so SCR 1 will turn ON at ๐‘ก1 its voltage fall nearly to zero so the voltage shared by SCR
2 will be the string voltage if the break over voltage of SCR 2 is less than ๐‘‰๐‘† then SCR 2 will
turn ON .
* In case ๐‘‰๐‘† is less than the breakoverer voltage, SCR 2 will turn ON at instant 2. SCR 1
assumed to have less turn off ๐‘ก๐‘ž1 time then SCR 2, so ๐‘ก๐‘ž1 < ๐‘ก๐‘ž2 . At ๐‘ก2 SCR 1 has recovered
while SCR 2 is developing recovery voltage at ๐‘ก1 both are developing different reverse
recovery
voltage.
At ๐‘ก2 SCR 1 has recovered while SCR2 is developing reverse recovery voltage .
Conclusion :
* Series connected SCR develop different voltages during turn ON and turn OFF
process. Till now we connect a simple resistor across the diode for static voltage equalizing
circuit .
* During turn ON and turn OFF capacitance of reverse biased junction determine the
voltage distribution across SCRs in a series connected string . As reverse biased junction
have different capacitance called self capacitance , the voltage distribution during turn ON
and turn Off process would be different.
* Under transient condition equal voltage distribution can be achieved by employing
shunt capacitance as this shunt capacitance has the effect of that the resultant of shunt and
self capacitance tend to be equal. The capacitor is used to limits the dv/dt across the SCR
during forward blocking state. When this SCR turned ON capacitor discharges heavy current
through the SCR . The discharge current spike is limited by damping resistor ๐‘…๐‘ . ๐‘…๐‘ also
damps out high frequency oscilation that may arise due to series combination of ๐‘…๐‘ ,C and
series inductor . ๐‘…๐‘ & C are called dynamic equalizing circuit
Diode D is used during forward biased condition for more effective charging of the capacitor.
During capacitor discharge ๐‘…๐‘ comes into action for limiting current spike and rate of change
of current di/dt .
The R, ๐‘…๐‘ & C component also provide path to flow reverse recovery current. When one SCR
regain its voltage blocking capability. The flow of reverse recovery current is necessary as it
facilitates the turning OFF process of series connected SCR string. So C is necessary for both
during turn ON and turn OFF process. But the voltage unbalance during turn OFF time is
more predominant then turn ON time. So choice of C is based on reverse recovery
characteristic of SCR .
SCR 1 has short recovery time as compared to SCR 2. Δ๐‘„ is the difference in reverse
recovery charges of two SCR 1 and SCR 2. Now we assume the SCR 1 recovers fast . i.e it
goes into blocking state so charge Δ๐‘„ can pass through C . The voltage induced by ๐‘1 is
๐›ฅ๐‘„ /C , where is no voltage induced across ๐ถ2 .
The difference in voltage to which the two shunt capacitor are charged is
๐›ฅ๐‘„ /C .
Now thyristor with least recovery time will share the highest transient
voltage say ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š ,
So,
๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - ๐‘‰2 = Δ๐‘„ /C
So,
๐‘‰2= ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - Δ๐‘„ /C
As
๐‘‰1 = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š
๐‘‰๐‘† = ๐‘‰1+๐‘‰2
= ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š +(๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - Δ๐‘„ /C)
๐‘‰๐‘† = 2๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š -Δ๐‘„ /C
⇒
1
(๐‘‰ +
2 ๐‘ 
Δ๐‘„
๐ถ
) = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š
⇒ ๐‘‰2= ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - Δ๐‘„ /C

[๐‘‰๐‘  - Δ๐‘„ /C]

Now suppose that there are n series SCRs in a string.
Let us assume that if top SCR has similar to characteristic SCR 1. Then SCR 1 would
support a voltage ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š
* If the remaining (n-1) SCR has characteristic that of SCR 2 .Then SCR 1
would recover first and support a voltage ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š . The charge (n-1) Δ๐‘„ from the remaining (n 1) SCR would pass through C.
๐‘‰1 = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š
๐‘‰2 = ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - Δ๐‘„ /C
Voltage across (n-1) slow thyristors
๐‘‰ = (n-1) (๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - Δ๐‘„ /C)
So,
๐‘‰๐‘† = V1 +(n-1) ๐‘‰2
= ๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š + (n-1) (๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š - Δ๐‘„ /C)
By simplifing we get ,
1
๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š = ๐‘› [๐‘‰๐‘  +(n-1) Δ๐‘„ /C ]
C =[ (n-1) Δ๐‘„ /( n๐‘‰๐‘๐‘š -๐‘‰๐‘† )
๐‘‰2 = (๐‘‰๐‘† - Δ๐‘„ /C )/ n .
Parallel operation:
When current required by the load is more than the rated current of single thyristor ,
SCRs are connected in parallel in a string .
For equal sharing of current, SCRs must have same ๐‘‰ − ๐ผcharacteristics during forward
conduction. ๐‘‰๐‘‡ across them must be same. For same ๐‘‰๐‘‡ , SCR 1 share ๐ผ1 and SCR 2 share I2 .
If ๐ผ1 is the rated current
๐ผ2 < ๐ผ1
The total current ๐ผ1 +๐ผ2 and not rated current 2๐ผ1 .Type equation here.
Thus string efficiency ,

)
Middle conductor will have more inductance as compared to other two nearby conductor. As
a result less current flow through the middle conductor. Another method is by magnetic
coupling.
Thyristor gate characteristics:-
๐‘‰๐‘” = +ve gate to cathode voltage.
๐ผ๐‘” = +ve gate to cathode current.
As the gate cathode characteristic of a thyrister is a p-n junction, gate characteristic of the
device is similar to diode.
Curve 1 the lowest voltage value s that must be applied to turn on the
SCR.
Curve 2 highest possible voltage values that can be safely applied to get circuit.
๐‘‰gm= Maximum limit for gate voltage .
๐ผgm = Maximum imilt for gate current.
๐‘ƒgav = Rated gate power dissipation for each SCR.
These limits should not be crossed in order to avoid the permanent damage of the
device junction ๐ฝ3 .
OY = Minimum limit of gate voltage to turn ON .
OX = minimum limit of gate current to turn ON.
If ๐‘‰gm , ๐ผgm , ๐‘ƒgav are exceeded the thyristor will damage so the preferred gate drive area
of SCR is bcdefghb.
oa = The non triggering gate voltage , If firing circuit generates +ve gate
signal prior to the desired instant of triggering the SCR.It should be ensured that this un
wanted signal should be less than the non –triggering voltage oa.
๐ธ๐‘† = ๐‘‰๐‘” + ๐ผ๐‘” ๐‘…๐‘†
๐ธ๐‘† =Gate source voltage
๐‘‰๐‘” = Gate cathode voltage
๐ผ๐‘” = Gate current
๐‘…๐‘† = Gate source resistance
๐‘…๐‘† = The internal resistance of the trigger source
๐‘…1 is connected across the gate cathode terminal, which provides an easy path to the flow of
leakage current between SCR terminal. If ๐ผ๐‘”๐‘š๐‘› , ๐‘‰gmn are the minimum gate current and gate
voltage to turn ON the SCR.
๐ธ๐‘† = (๐ผ๐‘”๐‘š๐‘› + ๐‘‰gmn/ ๐‘…1 ) ๐‘…๐‘† + ๐‘‰๐‘”๐‘š๐‘›

Rectifier are used to convert A.C to D.C supply.
Rectifiers can be classified as single phase rectifier and three phase rectifier. Single phase
rectifier are classified as 1-ี“ half wave and 1-ี“ full wave rectifier. Three phase rectifier are
classified as 3-ี“ half wave rectifier and 3-ี“ full wave rectifier. 1-ี“ Full wave rectifier are
classified as1-ี“ mid point type and 1-ี“ bridge type rectifier. 1-ี“ bridge type rectifier are
classified as 1-ี“ half controlled and 1-ี“ full controlled rectifier. 3-ี“ full wave rectifier are
again classified as 3-ี“ mid point type and 3-ี“ bridge type rectifier. 3-ี“ bridge type rectifier
are again divided as 3-ี“ half controlled rectifier and 3-ี“ full controlled rectifier.
Single phase half wave circuit with R-L load
Output current ๐‘–๐‘œ rises gradually. After some time ๐‘–๐‘œ reaches a maximum value and then
begins to decrease.
At π, ๐‘ฃ๐‘œ =0 but ๐‘–๐‘œ is not zero because of the load inductance L. After π interval SCR is reverse
biased but load current is not less then the holding current.
At β>π, ๐‘–๐‘œ reduces to zero and SCR is turned off.
At 2π+β SCR triggers again
α is the firing angle.

The duty cycle α can be varied by varying tโ‚ , T of frequency.
Constant frequency operation:
1)The chopping period T is kept constant and on time is varied.
The pulse width modulation ,the width of the pulse is varied.
2) Variable frequency operation, the chopping frequency f is varied.
Frequency modulation, either on time or off time is kept constant.
This type of control generate harmonics at unpredictable frequency and filter design is often
difficult.
TYPES OF CHOPPER:
FIRST QUADRANT OR TYPE A CHOPPER:
When switch ON
V0 ๏€ฝ Vs .
Current iโ‚€ flows in the same direction when switch off.
Vโ‚€=0, iโ‚€=0
So, average value of both the load and the current are positive.
SECOND QUADRANT OR TYPE B CHOPPER:
When switch are closed the load voltage E drives current through L and switch. During
Ton
L stores energy.
When switch off
V0 ๏€ฝ E ๏€ซ L
V0 exceeds source voltage Vs .
di
dt
Diode Dโ‚‚ is forward biased.power is fed back to supply. As Vโ‚€is more than sourse voltage. So such
chopper is called step up chopper.
V0 ๏€ฝ E ๏€ซ L
di
dt
So current is always negative and Vโ‚€ is always positive.
TWO QUADRANT TYPE A CHOPPER OR, TYPE C CHOPPER:
Both the switches never switch ON simultaneously as it lead direct short circuit of the
supply.
Now when sw2 is closed or FD is on the output voltage Vโ‚€ is zero.
When sw1 is ON or diode D conducts output voltage is Vโ‚€ is +V s’
CURRENT ANANLYSIS:
When CH1 is ON current flows along i0. When CH1 is off current continues to flow along i0
as FD is forward biased. So i0 is positive.
Now when CH2 is ON current direction will be opposite to i0. When sw2 is off D2 turns ON.
Load current is –i0. So average load voltage is always positive. Average load current may be
positive or negative.
TWO QUADRANT TYPE B CHOPPER, OR TYPE D CHOPPER:
When CH1 and CH2 both are on then V0=Vs.
When CH1 and CH2 are off and D1 and D2 are on V 0=-Vs.
The direction of current is always positive because chopper and diode can only conduct in
the direction of arrow shown in fig.
Average voltage is positive when Ton>Toff
FOUR QUADRANT CHOPPER, OR TYPE E CHOPPER
FIRST QUADRANT:
CH4 is kept ON
CH3 is off
CH1 is operarted
V0=Vs
i0 = positive
when CH1 is off positive current free wheels through CH4,D2
so V0 and I2 is in first quadrant.
SECOND QUADRANT:
CH1,CH3,CH4 are off.
CH2 is operated.
Reverse current flows and I is negative through L CH2 D4 and E.
When CH2 off D1 and D4 is ON and current id fed back to source. So
E๏€ซL
di
dt is more than source voltage Vs.
As i0 is negative and V0 is positive, so second quadrant operation.
THIRD QUADRANT:
CH1 OFF, CH2 ON
CH3 operated. So both V0 and i0 is negative.
When CH3 turned off negative current freewheels through CH2 and D4.
FOURTH QUADRANT:
CH4 is operated other are off.
Positive current flows through CH4 E L D2.
Inductance L stores energy when current fed to source through D3 and D2.V0 is negative.

INVERTER
Inverters are of the two types
1) VSI
2) CSI
Pulse width model
The VSI can be further divided into general 3 categories:
1.Pulse width modulated inverters
2.Square wave inverters
3.Single phase inverter with voltage cancellation
Pulse width modulated inverters
The input dc voltage is of constant magnitude . The diode rectifier is used to rectify the line
voltage.The inverter control the magnitude and frequency of the ac output voltage.
This is achieved by PWM technique of inverter switches and this is called PWM inverters.
The sinusoidal PWM technique is one of the PWM technique to shape the output voltage to
as close as sinusoidal output.
Basic concepts of switch mode inverter
During interval 1 ๐‘ฃ0 and ๐‘–0 both are positive
During interval 3 ๐‘ฃ0 and ๐‘–0 both are negative
Therefore during 1 and 3 the instantaneous power flow is from dc side to corresponding to
inverter mode of operation.
In contrast during interval 2 and 4 ๐‘ฃ0 and ๐‘–0 are of opposite sign i.e. power flows from ac
side to dc side corresponding to rectifier mode of operation.
Pulse width modulated switching scheme
We require the inverter output to be sinusoidal with magnitude and frequency controllable.
In order to produce sinusoidal output voltage at desired frequency a sinusoidal control
signal at desired frequency is compared with a triangular waveform as show.
The frequency of the triangular waveform established the inverter switching frequency.
The triangular waveform is called carrier waveform. The triangular waveform establishes
switching frequency ๐‘“๐‘  , which establishes with which the inverter switches are applied.
The control signal has frequency ๐‘“๐‘  and is used to modulate the switch duty ratio.
๐‘“1 is the desired fundamental frequency of the output voltage.
The amplitude modulation ratio ๐‘š๐‘Ž is defined as
๐‘‰๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘™
ma =
๐‘‰๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘–
๐‘‰๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘™ is the peak amplitude of control signal.
๐‘‰๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘– peak amplitude of triangular signal.

Three phase inverter
When three single-phase inverters are connected in parallel a three phase inverter is
formed.
The gating signal has to be displaced by 1200 with respect to each other so as achieve three
phase balanced voltages.
A 3-phase output can be achieved from a configuration of six transistors and six diodes.
Two type of control signal can be applied to transistors, they are such as 1800 or 1200
conduction.
180-degree conduction
When ๐‘„1 is switched on, terminal a is connected to the positive terminal of dc input voltage.
When ๐‘„4 is switched on terminal a is brought to negative terminal of the dc source.
There are 6 modes of operation is a cycle and the duration of each mode is 600 .
The conduction sequence of transistors is 123,234,345,456,561,612. The gating signals are
shifted from each other by 600 to get 3-๐œ‘ balanced voltages.
