Getting started with PSpice

To start with a PSpice project: 1) Go to capture CIS Lite Edition 2) Go to File menu. Select New Project option. 3) Choose analog or mixed A/D option and specify the project name and its location and click Ok

4)

Once the step 3) is completed the following window appears. Choose Create a blank project option

5)

Create the circuit by placing all its parts using Part option from Part menu. In this way a complete electrical circuit can be formed.

Points to remember
When creating a new project , use Analog or Mixed A/D set-up option. Watch the file location / directory structure.

Design and simulation of power electronic circuits

Power Electronic Circuits can be classified as: DC-DC Converters AC-DC Converters (Rectifiers) DC-AC Converters (Inverters) AC-AC Converters Now design and simulation of each of these circuits will be discussed.

AC-DC Converters (Rectifiers)

AC-DC converters ( Rectifiers) can be classified as: Half wave rectifier Full wave rectifier These can further be classified depending upon the rectifying element being used . If using diode, are called uncontrolled rectifiers. Whereas if using thyristor, are called controlled rectifiers.
