Lab 2

This document describes a lab experiment on power electronics devices and waveforms. Students are asked to: 1. Simulate a half-wave rectifier circuit with a resistive load using different power switches (diode, thyristor, MOSFET) and plot the output voltage and current waveforms. 2. Analyze and compare the waveforms for each switch, noting peak voltage, RMS voltage, average voltage, and other parameters. 3. Suggest modifications needed to the thyristor and MOSFET circuits to obtain the same output as the diode circuit and justify the suggestions. 4. Discuss the initial output produced by each switch and compare the advantages of thyristor and

R Load and compare with theoretical ideal parameters.
(b) To analyze the waveforms of the half-wave rectifier circuit and distinguish the
significant parameters.
(c) Ability to recognize and suggest control strategy between un-controlled, semicontrolled and fully-controlled power switch.
(d) Ability to validate and propose circuit design based on practical datasheet
informations.
INTRODUCTION
PSIM is a simulation software from Powersim Incorporated specifically designed for
power electronics and motor control. With fast simulation and friendly user interface,
PSIM provides a powerful simulation environment to address any simulation needs.
The PSIM package consists of three parts: PSIM schematic program, PSIM Simulator,
and waveform display program Simview.
The switch gating block :

It defines the gating pattern of a switch or a switch module. Each turn-on or turn-off
action is counted as one switching point.
For example, for the following gating pattern, there are 6 switching points, and the
switching points are: 35, 92, 175, 187, 345, and 357.

NOTE: The gating block can be connected to the gate node of a switch only. It can not
be connected to any other elements.
