    This document describes a three phase AC voltage controller circuit that uses six thyristors (two per phase) to control the output voltage. The thyristors are triggered sequentially to produce an AC output voltage waveform that varies based on the firing angle. The output voltage waveform can be observed on an oscilloscope and the circuit allows controlling the speed and direction of a three phase AC motor as the load.

    The key takeaways are that a three phase AC voltage controller uses six thyristors connected back to back in a three phase configuration to control the output voltage in a circuit with a balanced resistive load.

    The thyristors are fired in sequence starting from 1 and increasing, with the angle between firing of thyristors 1 and 2 being one-sixth of the time period. The thyristors are fired after a delay from the natural commutation point to control the output voltage.

    The circuit uses six thyristors, two back to back per phase, with the thyristors numbered according to the firing sequence. It also includes a three phase input supply, balanced resistive load, and triggering pulse supply.

    THREE PHASE AC VOLTAGE CONTROLLER

    Aim:

    To Construct Three Phase AC Voltage Controller.

    Apparatus required:

    1. Three Phase AC Voltage Controller kit.


    2. Patch chords.
    3. Power chord.
    4. Lamp Load or AC motor.
    5. CRO.

    Circuit Diagram:

    Fig: Three-phase, three-wire ac regulator


    Theory:
    The circuit of a three-phase, three-wire ac regulator (termed as ac to ac voltage
    converter) with balanced resistive (star-connected) load is shown in Fig. 27.1. It may
    be noted that the resistance connected in all three phases are equal. Two thyristors
    connected back to back are used per phase, thus needing a total of six thyristors.
    Please note the numbering scheme, which is same as that used in a three-phase full-
    wave bridge converter or inverter, described in module 2 or 5. The thyristors are
    fired in sequence (Fig. 27.2), starting from 1 in ascending order, with the angle
    between the triggering of thyristors 1 & 2 being (one-sixth of the time period (°60T)
    of a complete cycle). The line frequency is 50 Hz, with fT/1==20 ms.
    The thyristors are fired or triggered after a delay of α from the natural
    commutation point. The natural commutation point is the starting of a cycle with
    period, (6/60T=°) of output voltage waveform, if six thyristors are replaced by
    diodes. Note that the output voltage is similar to phase-controlled waveform for a
    converter, with the difference that it is an ac waveform in this case. The current flow
    is bidirectional, with the current in one direction in the positive half, and then, in
    other (opposite) direction in the negative half. So, two thyristors connected back to
    back are needed in each phase. The turning off of a thyristor occurs, if its current
    falls to zero. To turn the thyristor on, the anode voltage must be higher that the
    cathode voltage, and also, a triggering signal must be applied at its gate.
    The procedure for obtaining the expression of the rms value of the output
    voltage per phase for balanced star-connected resistive load, which depends on range
    of firing angle, as shown later, is described. If is the rms value of the input voltage
    per phase, and assuming the voltage, as the reference.

    Procedure:

    1. Connections are made as shown in circuit diagram.


    2. First turn on SW2 (triggering pulse supply).
    3. Turn on SW1 (input power supply).

    4. By varying a, observe corresponding Output voltage at load terminal.


    5. To verify the motor speed and direction.
    Output Waveform

    Result:

    Above experiment for Three Phase AC voltage controller was done and the
    result was verified with Output wave form.
