Sequence control of Converters: Sequence control of Converters - We have shown that fully controlled converters take lagging reactive power from the mains. This requirement is less in half controlled…
Two pulse converters with freewheeling diode: One quadrant converters can also be obtained by connecting a free wheeling diode across the load terminals. This is possible with both midpoint and…
Phase Controlled Line Commutated Converters: In these Phase Controlled Line Commutated Converters, the commutation voltage, i.e. the voltage required to transfer current from one thyristor to the other, is provided…
Nuclear Power Station: A generating station in which nuclear energy is converted into electrical energy is known as a nuclear power station. In nuclear power station, heavy elements such as…
Types of Facts Controllers in Power System: The development of FACTS controllers has followed two different approaches. The first approach employs reactive impedances or a tap changing transformer with thyristor…
DC Motor Control through Converters: DC motor control is conveniently and efficiently achieved by phase-controlled converters wherein the ac input voltage is converted to a controlled dc output. The commutation…
What is Power Electronic Converter?: What is Power Electronic Converter? - Since the introduction of the thyristor, the Power Electronic Converter technology has progressed through intense technological evolution for the…
Recent Trends in Power Semiconductors: The recent trends in Power Semiconductors from application point of view show that MOSFETs and IGBTs are replacing BJTs almost completely while GTOs are currently…
