Expt No 8-AC Voltage Controller

This document describes an experiment on a single phase AC voltage controller for an R load. It details the equipment used, the theory behind phase angle control using UJT triggering and SCRs in anti-parallel connection, the procedure to observe waveforms and measure output voltage at varying firing angles, and a table to record observations and compare practical and theoretical output voltages.

Experiment No.: 8 Date:

AC VOLTAGE CONTROLLER

AIM: To study single phase AC voltage controller for R load.

EQUIPMENTS & COMPONENTS:


1. Trainer kit
2. Power scope / Unearthed dual trace CRO
3. Load lamp (40W, 230V)
4. Multimeters
5. Connectors, etc.

THEORY:
 This training system is designed to explain working principle and
method of obtaining the variable AC from fixed frequency AC supply.
 Here the Phase Angle Control technique is used using UJT triggering circuit..
 In order to control AC power we may use a Triac or SCRs connected in anti-parallel
fashion. In our Trainer System we have used two SCRs in anti-parallel connection (full
wave).
 The position of firing angle may be from 10 o to 170o on half cycle to obtain maximum to
minimum voltage across the load.

As per power converter circuit, during + ve half cycle T2 becomes


forward biased, after gating gate pulse T2 conducts in one direction and load voltage is
positive. During –ve half cycle T1 becomes forward biased, after gating gate pulse T1
conducts in opposite direction and hence load voltage becomes negative. In this way by
controlling firing angle AC voltage gets varied from fixed AC voltage.

PROCEDURE:

1. Observe & sketch different waveforms in control circuit i.e. o/p of bridge, voltage
across zener, voltage across capacitor C and voltage across primary of pulse
transformer.
2. Now connect G1 of control circuit to G1 of power converter, similarly connect K1 to
K1, G2 to G2 & K2 to K2.
3. Connect a lamp load of 15W / 25W / 40W in given bulb socket.
4. AC input is internally connected of 36V, 50Hz
5. Connect a power scope across the load & a multimeter.
6. Observe load voltage waveform on power scope, measure corresponding o/p voltage &
firing angle.
7. Now vary the firing angle by pot, observe different waveforms across load, measure
corresponding o/p voltages & firing angles.
8. Tabulate the readings, compare with theoretical o/p, plot the graph α vs Vorms
