Experiment No: 2: Department of Electrical Engineering

This document describes an experiment to study single-phase SCR controlled rectifier circuits, including midpoint full-wave and bridge-type full-wave rectifier configurations. The procedures involve making circuit connections, using a firing circuit to trigger the SCRs, measuring output voltage and current on different firing angles, and observing and comparing the performance of the different rectifier configurations.
