DISCUSSION
Part 1
1. With the aid of the waveforms obtained , explain briefly the
operation of the controlled half wave rectifier
The single-phase half-wave rectifier uses a single thyristor to control the load voltage.
The thyristor will conduct only when it is in ON state which is when the voltage is in
its positive cycle and a firing current pulse is applied to the gate terminal. Delaying
the firing pulse by an angle will enable us to control the load voltage. The firing
angle, , is measured from the position where a diode would naturally conduct.
Where = 60
3. Discuss the effect of the freewheeling diode on the output voltage and
output current waveforms.
The effect of the freewheeling diode is to cause a reduction of ripple voltage of the
output DC terminals. At the same time, it diverts the output current (when the
inductive load acts as a current source at higher firing angle) away from the input
lines.
There is a slight difference between the experimental results and the simulation
results.. This is probably due to the fact that in the simulation, the diode used is
considered to be ideal. Thus producing a perfect waveform as studied theoretically.
When conducting an experiment, there are internal resistance inside the equipment
especially at the voltage supply that which will cause the experimental results to
deviate from the simulated results. Along with that, in practical, the firing angle will
not be as precise as in the simulation

) graph above is
obtained using the data recorded in Table 4. Based on the readings obtained, at 90
the motor speed will be zero. More than that, the output voltage will be approaching
negative voltage which means the motor will become a generator. Therefore,
experimentally, we could not conduct this.
In the case where >120, the output voltage will be negative at first and become
positive as the value of increases.
