1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Welcome to the subject Industrial Electronics II (Practical) (INEPRA2) at UNISA. This tutorial
letter serves as a guideline to this subject. It provides you with general administrative
information as well as specific information about the subject. Read it carefully and keep it safe
for future reference. We trust that you will enjoy this course.
The future will see exciting developments in the generation of electrical power. Renewable
energy sources such as electrical solar panels, wind generators and fuel cells will become more
and more part of the landscape where humans are active. The power from these sources are all
dependant on environmental conditions (sunlight, wind, load variations and temperature) and
require the storage of power in various storage technologies during times of excess generation,
so that the power can be used at times when the generation is inadequate. Co-generation of
power, where all of the different technologies generate power into a common grid that is also
supplied from conventional generation technologies such as coal, gas, hydro and nuclear power
stations, presents special problems of its own. The various power generation technologies
produce power ranging in frequency from DC to higher than 60 Hz. Loads are motors, chemical
processes, IT equipment, telecommunication equipment, furnaces, illumination, heating, etc.
Some loads require DC, others a varying frequency, different voltage levels, high currents, etc.
Power electronics is the interface between all of the various components mentioned above and
is tasked to convert energy from the available form to the form that the load requires. This has
to be done as efficiently as possible. Industrial Electronics 2 serves as an introduction into this
world of power conversion, enabling a student to become knowledgeable about components,
topologies and techniques that are used in power electronics.

Submission of Assignment 1 “allows” you to complete a practical assignment, which is the
examination for this subject.
Ensure that you understand this principle. Failure to submit Assignment 1 by the due date, will
result in you being barred from handing in a practical assignment and you will have to reregister
for this subject. If in doubt, contact your lecturer before the submission date!!!!
Assignment 1: 549133
(Compulsory)
Portfolio: 729466
(Compulsory)
If you have submitted your registration form without a date being selected, please
contact Ms L Visser URGENTLY via e-mail lvisser@unisa.ac.za or 011 471 2854
with a date, if a date is not provided you will NOT be scheduled for a workshop.
For detailed information and requirements as far as assignments are concerned, see the
brochure my Studies @ Unisa that you received with your study material.
Your e-mail address should also be provided in clear and neat handwriting, as
communication might be sent to from time to time.
Tutorial letter 301, with the workshop dates, will be uploaded onto myUnisa:
• Go to myUnisa.
• Log in with your student number and password.
• Select the module.
• Click on official study material
• Go to Tutorial letter 301.
To complete a module both the theory and practical must be passed. You have the
following options available to do the practicals:
• You can attend the practicals arranged by UNISA. These are only available at certain
venues and you have to book a spot by submitting assignment 1 as stipulated in the
tutorial letter, or
• You can complete the practicals at your workplace or another suitable training facility
on your own, with a suitable mentor (preferably ECSA registered). You need to
submit a portfolio for assessment with the Mentor’s Form.

ANNEXURE B
b. In order to receive a pass mark, the student need to receive a sub-minimum of 50%.
c. All students must have their own practical guide and components.
d. Every student must do his own practical, however students are allowed to receive help in a constructive
manner.
e. Practical experiments must be built by the student himself and the relevant answers supplied on the
respective answer sheet for that experiment.
f. Use standard symbols and notation, as used in the theoretical notes and practical guide, on the answer
sheet.
g. Where applicable, the construction of your practical assignment will be evaluated on the following criteria:
i) neatness;
ii) correct layout of components;
iii) correct wiring techniques;
iv) correct operation of circuit;
v) student's knowledge of the circuit; and
vi) insight into the practical work.
h. All the experiments need to be certified by the student's mentor (see the form attached), as the student's
own work. Refer to paragraph 3 for the very important information regarding the appointment of your
mentor.
i. Students need to take every safety precaution (especially where the experiment involves 220-V and 380-V
alternating current). UNISA cannot be hPCE responsible for any damage to equipment or harm to any
person. In cases where the student is in doubt about any safety aspect, contact Unisa for assistance.
You are advised to conduct the experiments only after the relevant theory has been covered.
3. APPOINTMENT OF MENTOR
Your mentor plays a very important role in the successful completion of your assignment. The functions of
your mentor are the following:
Your mentor should thus be appointed in order to fulfill the above mentioned task.
Your mentor must preferably be professionally registered with ECSA (Engineering Counsel of
South Africa) for us to accredit his authorisation of your work. If the person acting as your mentor is not
registered with ECSA, then someone who is professionally registered with ECSA, should also authorise
your assignment. The mentor must supply his particulars as requested on the authorisation form attached
to each experiment, for us to accept his authorisation.

Scan the complete document to a pdf format.
Each practical report must be done following this format:
1. Aim
2. Mathematical
Modelling Circuit
Waveforms
Derivation
Results
3. Simulation Modelling
Schematic
Waveforms with Annotated Measurements
4. Tabulated results
Results must be tabulated and with % errors between mathematical and simulation
modelling calculated and indicated.
5. Discussion
Discuss the method followed, results obtained and reason for error percentage.
6. Conclusion
The conclusion must be erudite and must refer to the aim.
Practical 1
Aim: Determine the true power dissipated in the load of a single-phase half-wave rectifier
fed from a 220 V 50 Hz supply. The load resistor is equal to the last two numbers of your
student number + 10 ohm. [25]
Practical 2
Aim: Determine the true power dissipated in the load of a single-phase bridge rectifier fed
from a 220 V 50 Hz supply. The load resistor is equal to the last two numbers of your
student number + 10 ohm. [25]
Practical 3
Aim: Determine average voltage over the load of a single-phase half-wave rectifier fed
from a 22 V 50 Hz supply. The load consists of a 100 mH inductor with a 10 Ω internal
resistance. [25]
Practical 4
Aim: Determine the relationship of the average output voltage against the delay angle of
a single-phase half-wave controlled rectifier fed from a 22 V 50 Hz supply. The load consists of
a 100 mH inductor with a 10 Ω internal resistance with a commutating diode in parallel to the
load. Use a thyristor as the rectifying element. Install scr.txt into Simetrix
following the instructions below. [25]

Installing thyristors into SIMetrix
SIMetrix does not have the models for thyristors installed all ready. The user must import
them. To install thyristors into SIMetrix, download the file scr.txt or contact Dr. van Rensburg
via email and request the file. (You can also use the information following these instructions
to create your own scr.txt file using Notepad.) Save the file on the desktop of the computer.
Minimize all other windows except the SIMetrix Command Shell window. Position the
Command Shell window in such a position that the file scr.txt is visible (see screen shot
below). Drag and drop it into the Command Shell window. Click <OK> in the pop up window
to install the models.
A window similar to the one below (Associate Symbol with Model) opens up to allow
association with a symbol. Choose a New Category and type “Thyristors”. Click <OK>.
Use the drop down list to define a symbol for XC106D. Although XC106A is shown below,
XC106D must be used in 220 V circuits since it has a higher PIV rating.
