SCR Converters and Reactive Loads

SCR Converters and Reactive Loads
Power Electronic Training Board has been designed specifically to study the SCR conduction in different circuit configurations and under various forms of load. The load can be selected from resistive, inductive, capacitive or combinations of any of them. The SCR converter can also be used as source for other experiments. Practical experience on this board carries great educative value for Science and Engineering Students.

Object:

• Study of SCRs triggering in half controlled bridge under reactive loads-limitations of simple UJT triggering circuits
• Study of SCR triggering in half controlled bridge under reactive loads using auxiliary SCR triggering circuit with extended pulse technique
