Controlled rectifiers are of two types,
1- Fully Controlled rectifiers
DC current is unidirectional, but DC voltage has
either polarity. With one polarity, flow of power is
from AC source to DC load---Rectification.

EXAMPLE 6.4
Output is similar to
uncontrolled rectifier.
Average DC voltage is
zero, so there is no
transfer of power from AC
source to DC load.
As firing angle is
increased from 0 to 90°,
the power supplied to
the DC load decreases,
becoming zero at α=90°
17
Voltage and current waveforms for α=135°
Average DC voltage is
negative.
Average output DC
voltage is at its maximum
negative value.
SCRs remain in
conduction for 180°

EXAMPLE 6.5
Show direction of power flow and operating
mode (rectifying or inversion) of center-tap
rectifier circuit with following firing angles:
A) α > 0°
B) α < 90°
C) α > 90°
D) α < 180°

In fully-controlled rectifier, only rectification can
be obtained by connecting a freewheeling diode
across the output terminals of the rectifier.
