Thyristors find extensive applications in power electronic circuits such as DC motor drives, large power application drive circuits etc. This trainer provides an opportunity to study, how a single phase Half / Fully controlled bridge circuit works. This trainer has four thyristors connected in a bridge configuration. Necessary firing circuit is provided for control. It is possible to connect a resistive load to the output terminals to observe waveforms on CRO and record. A voltmeter and an Ammeter are used to measure the line and load characteristics. |
