This document describes the operation of a single phase semi-converter circuit with an R-L load. It has two SCRs and two diodes connected in a bridge configuration. There are four modes of operation: 1) SCR 1 conducts providing positive voltage to the load, 2) Freewheeling occurs through the diode when the supply voltage goes negative, 3) SCR 2 conducts providing negative voltage to the load, 4) Another freewheeling mode occurs when the supply voltage becomes positive again. The inductive load stores energy during modes 1 and 3 and provides freewheeling paths during modes 2 and 4.

CLASSIFICATION OF RECTIFIERS SEMI CONVERTER It is a single quadrant converter. It has only one polarity of output voltage and current. Here two SCRs and two diodes are connected in bridge configuration. They can be arranged in two confg. namely symmetrically & asymmetrical. Symmetrical configuration of semiconverter Asymmetrical configuration of semiconverter OPERATION WITH R-L LOAD MODE 1 Herewhen SCR 1 is turned on. OBSERVATION OF MODE 1 Diode d1 is forward biased, Conduction will take place through SCR1 & D1, Load voltage is Vo=Vm sin ωt
Here inductive load will store the
energy in this mode of operation. Flow of power is from source to load. MODE 2 Here at freewheeling occurs. OBSERVATION OF MODE 2 Here AC vltg goes to zero & after ∏ it becomes negative. Hence SCR 1 and diode D1 will turn off. Since load is inductive it will try to oppose the change in crt. Flowing through it. Self induced vltg is induced. This load vltg is negative. MODE 3 Here at SCR 2 & D 2 is ON. OBSERVATION OF MODE 3
Load vltg is positive =
instantaneous vltg. Supply crt is negative.
Hence load vltg & crt both
being negative it will store energy. MODE 4 Here at freewheeling occurs. OBSERVATION OF MODE 4
Here AC supply vltg reverses its
polarity & becomes positive. Here also hence freewheeling starts through Dfw. Load vltg is zero.
