DL DCA202.1 1. THEORETICAL SECTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION The continuous control of alternating electrical energy is normally performed by means of thyristors that are suitable for use as static switches on account of their extremely high switching capacity. The thyristor family includes unidirectional devices as the SCRs and bidirectional devices as the TRIACs. As switch conducts current in both direction so two SCRs must always be connected back-to-back (pair of antiparallel arms) while the TRIAC can be used instead of the two antiparallel SCRs.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE 1) Knowledge of diodes and uncontrolled rectifiers (DL DCA 201.1) 2) Knowledge of SCRs and controlled rectifiers (DL DCA 201.2)

ver a20120201

DL DCA202.1 1.2 TRIAC A TRIAC can be considered as two parallel SCRs oriented in opposite directions and integrated into a semiconductor chip to provide symmetrical bidirectional characteristics, as shown in the

following Fig.1.

Fig.1 TRIAC symbol and volt-ampere characteristic TRIACs have two main terminals MT1 and MT2 and one gate terminal G. The switching behaviour is the same as that of two back-to-back SCRs and because of its complex structure a TRIAC can be triggered by either a positive or a negative gate signal regardless of the voltage polarity across the main terminals. The gate trigger modes for TRIAC are depicted in the following table, where the polarities are referenced to terminal MT1.

Because the direction of the principal current influences the trigger current, the trigger sensitivity is higher in the I+ and III- trigger modes.

DL DCA202.1 1.3 SINGLE-PHASE AC CONTROLLER W1 (W1C) The most simple device used to continuously adjust the ac power is shown in the following Fig.2, where two antiparallel SCRs can be used instead of the TRIAC.

Fig.2 Ac controller with TRIAC (W1) and with two antiparallel SCRs (W1C) The power regulation is accomplished by varying the control angle of the TRIAC (of the two SCRs) during each half-period, as shown in the following Fig.3.

Fig.3 Phase-angle control, ohmic load

In the case of an ohmic load, the load current rises to the instantaneous value of the sinusoidal continuous current at the moment of firing angle and then flows in phase with the sinusoidal supply voltage until the zero transition is reached. The load current can be continuously varied via the control angle between the maximum value ( = 0) and zero ( = 180). During the conduction phase the supply voltage is connected to the load; during the off-phase it is present at the controller as a reverse voltage.

DL DCA202.1 1.3.1 Inductive load The purely inductive load represents an ideal load: the choke coil has an ohmic dissipative resistance which cannot be disregarded.

Fig.5 Controller W1 (W1C) with ohmic load In the case of an inductive load the current generally lags of the angle = 90 behind the voltage and for this reason the control range of the controller is limited between ==90 and 180. The load current cannot change abruptly as in the case of ohmic load and so it is necessary to fire the thyristors by means of a pulse train in order to ensure the on-state when the line current has reached the latching current value.

Fig.6 Phase-angle control, inductive load When the control angle > 90 the load current is made up of sinusoidal peaks. During the conduction phase the supply voltage is connected to the load; during the off-phase it is present at the controller as a reverse voltage.

DL DCA202.1 1.3.2 Ohmic-inductive load Circuits containing resistance and inductance in series are a load type frequently found in practice.

Fig.8 Controller W1 (W1C), ohmic-inductive load The ohmic-inductive load represents a load case between ohmic and purely inductive load. Full drive is obtained when ==arc tan L/R and so the control range of the controller is limited between = and 180.

Fig.9 Phase-angle control, ohmic-inductive load The load current is no longer sinusoidal but is made up of sinusoidal continuous current and superimposed equalizing current decreasing with the time constant = L/R. During the conduction phase the supply voltage is connected to the load; during the off-phase it is present at the controller as a reverse voltage.

DL DCA202.1 To understand the action of the controller it is necessary to note what follows: 1) When the pair of antiparallel SCRs is not fired, the phase voltage at associated load is equal to zero. 2) When all pairs of antiparallel SCRs have been fired, the phase voltage at the load is equal to the supply phase voltage (e.g. U1 = Uv10). 3) If only two pairs of antiparallel SCRs have been fired , the phase voltage at the load is equal to half the supply line voltage associated to the conducting pairs (e.g. U1 = Uv12). 4) The line voltage at the load is equal to the supply line voltage when the associated pairs of antiparallel SCRs are conducting (e.g. V1 and V4 on: U12 = Uv12 ):at all other times this voltage is equal to half the supply line voltage between the respective conducting arms (e.g. V1 and V6 on: U12 = - Uv13). 5) When the pair of antiparallel SCRs is not fired, a voltage UV is present at the pair. The voltage phasor diagram shows that this voltage is equal to 1.5 time the associated supply phase voltage, as illustrated in the following Fig.14 for the case (V1 - V2) off/(V3 - V4) and (V5 - V6) on:

With ohmic load the voltage and current time profiles are identical: a complex procedure involves the determination of the transfer characteristic of the load current and for this reason we indicate only a graph, as shown in the following Fig.16, where IRMS0= Uv /R is the rms value for the gate angle = 0.

The controller W3C with ohmic load can be controlled over the range = 0 to 150 (curve at cos = 1): when > 150 no current can flow since the inverse SCRs block. 1.5.2 Half-controlled controller W3H. Fig.17 illustrates the basic circuitry of a three-phase half-controlled controller with symmetrical ohmic load, star connected and without neutral.

Fig.17 Controller W3H, ohmic load. To understand the action of the controller it is necessary to note that the same considerations apply for the time profiles of the load voltages as already discussed for the full-controlled controller W3C (1.5.1), recalling that now the antiparallel pair consists of an SCR and of a diode so the time profiles for the positive and negative half-cycles of the load voltages are different while the voltage UV at the pair displays only positive values.

The controller W3H with ohmic load can be controlled over the range = 0 to 210. 1.5.3 Controller W3C2 with two pairs of antiparallel SCRs. With ohmic load it is possible to use only two pairs of antiparallel SCRs, one for phase, so to control also the third phase, as shown in the following Fig.20.

Fig.20 Controller W3C2, ohmic load.

To understand the action of the controller it is necessary to note that the same considerations apply for the time profiles of the load voltages as already discussed for the full-controlled controller W3C (1.5.1), recalling that now the phase L2 is permanently connected to the load.

On account of the pair of antiparalle SCRs missing in one line the load currents differ considerably and this also applies for the corresponding transfer characteristics.

DL DCA202.1 2.2 SETTING UP AND CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTS All the circuits of proposed experiments must be powered via the mains transformer. Always use safety connecting leads. Connect potential equalisation PE throughout. Connect the panels which have their own mains connection lead to the power mains. Set the measuring meters to the largest range. For current measurements using the oscilloscope use the plug-in shunt. Do not switch on the power mains until the circuitry has been carefully checked. When conducting experiments choose the most suitable measuring range of the meter. The mains voltage must be disconnected before intervening in the experiment set-up and making any changes or additions to circuitry.

DL DCA202.1 2.3 MEASUREMENTS WITH OSCILLOSCOPE Working with a grounded conventional oscilloscope means taking certain special features into consideration, as illustrated in the following. 2.3.1 No mains isolation When the circuit is operated in a directly grounded mains, conventional two-channel oscilloscope can only be used with some difficulty and only the greatest caution. As the measurement grounds of the two channels are identical (i.e. internally connected), there is a danger of short-circuit via the probes, also in the case of single-channel measurements.

Example N.1 Short-circuit via probe. If you wish to investigate the line voltages or any other voltage not measured with respect to the neutral point, this can only be accomplished by measuring differential voltage (INVert channel 2).

Example N.2 Measuring line voltage U12 = U1N -U2N

ver a20120201

23

DL DCA202.1 2.3.2 Power supply via a transformer with isolated windings Using such a transformer greatly simplifies the measuring procedures as you can connect the ground as is most convenient.

Example N.3 Possible measuring line voltage. As the measuring ground of the oscilloscope has the potential of PE line, and thus ground potential, measuring with the oscilloscope will ground the secondary side of the transformer. This means that when the secondary voltages exceed the protective extra-low voltage, there exists a danger of contact with respect to ground. Also using such a transformer the risk of a short-circuit via the probes still exists.

Example N.4 Short-circuit via probe ground.

DL DCA202.1 2.3.3 Current measurement The current I flowing through a load R is measured displaying on the oscilloscope the voltage drop across a shunt Rs.

Example N.5 Measuring current: I = URS / RS .

2.3.4 Current and voltage measurement Simultaneous load current and voltage across the load R can be displayed on the oscilloscope using the circuits depicted in the Examples N.6 and N.7.

Example N.6 : Simultaneous current and voltage measurement (Correct in terms of phase) The U voltage measurement is distorted by the voltage drop across the shunt RS: however, where R >> Rs this error may be ignored.

ver a20120201

DL DCA202.1

Example N.7 Simultaneous current and voltage measurement (Correct in terms of amplitude) The amplitudes of voltage U and current I are measured correctly but the current phase is 180 inverted : by pressing the INVert button on channel 2 of the oscilloscope you can display the current with the correct phase. NOTE For measurement using two-channel oscilloscope always connect only one point of the circuit to the frame of the oscilloscope. 2.3.5 Isolation amplifier Where possible, connect an isolating amplifier in series to the oscilloscope in order to ensure potential-free recording of the measured value.

2.4 SAFETY INFORMATION Laboratory work always entails a higher risk of accidents. The device may only be operated by persons who are in a position to recognise shock hazards and to implement the proper safety measures. If measurements are to be made where there is a shock hazard, IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO WORK ALONE: a second person must be informed. In accordance with the IEC regulations, metal parts not carrying a voltage in normal operation (e.g. housings) are to be connected to the PE ground conductor. The ground conductor is provided solely for this purpose and may not be connected with the neutral conductor N of the circuit!
