Theory:

Rectifier circuit cannot be variable; they operate DC load by AC power supply. ln the case of
controlling DC motor's speed or any application where we need variable voltage, it is only possible by
changing input voltage power. But there are many problems. So in this circuit, the SCR (with gate
input SCR’s output may be controlled) is used to rectify with single phase half-wave phase-control
rectifier.
A single phase half-wave rectifier is shown in Figure 3-1. Instead of using diode, SCR is used. Output
waveform is shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-1: Single Phase Half Wave Controlled Rectifier

The load voltage Vab is given by the equation:


π
1 1+cosα
V ab= ∫ √ 2 V sinθ dθ=0.45 V
2π α 2

Where α is the firing angle. When θ=¿ α the gate signal is applied and the SCR conducts exactly like
a diode. lf power supply voltage v is applying behind as amount of CI. at zero cross point (point that
AC voltage become 0), like [Figure 3-2], power supply 1 period is divided into 4 main durations.
First, duration 1 is forward direction period, but there is no gate signal. So SCR is OFF state.
Therefore, load voltage is C. Because power supply and load are detached.
Duration 2 is forward direction period, and gate signal is imposed. Thus SCR gets into ON-state and
act like diode. Therefore power supply and load are connected, then voltage impose to load. There is
no gate signal in 3 period, but CR keeps ON-state still applying to load until current become 0.
Current will be 0 at cross point of a. so SCR gets into OFF state naturally.
Duration 4 is detached with power supply regardless of gate signal status because voltage is flow
reverse. Voltage waveform that appling to load becomes waveform of shape that erase part of sine
wave.
