Single phase SCR AC current switch.

Figure 1 is AC voltage control circuit, which uses SCR, when resistance is loaded. As shown in the
picture, SCR is connected by antiparallel at the same time, gate signal circuit gives a signal to S1 behind
as much as and another signal to S2 behind half cycle than S1 at zero cross point of power supply
voltage V. This circuit operation should be like to do single phase half-wave rectifier through
consultation.
If polarity of power supply is positive in figure 1, it is the same way that play off because S1 is forward
bias and S2 is reverse bias. Thats way power supply and load are connected by S1 from to . Because
SCR current amounts is 9 in 5 and then S1 is off.
Therefore power supply and load are divided into over and over again until that time. If gate signal is
continuously pushed on 6, S2 will be on and 7 will be off because polarity of power supply is dotted line
direction of figure 1 at this time.
When such an operation is repeated, output waveform is like figure 2. In case of voltage a part of input is
variable, size of waveform will be no change with uniformity (figure 2) depending on voltage drop.
Thats why greater loss department has voltage dropped. This voltage control is called phase control.
When R-L load is used in figure 1, coil has a circuit of resistance R and induction L as (figure 3) by an
electric circuit because motor is made by a piece of metal which is coiled.
When 19 in figure 4, converted is changed into diode because S1 becomes on if gate signal is applied
SCR of both S1 and S2.
If the current iL flows from power supply to load, input of current is controlled and output is extended
because the current iL is inductance load unlike resistance load. These situations are all same like
explaining in rectifier circuit. As a result, current iL does not become 0 at 9if only resistance, voltage
and current become 0 at ) and if load current becomes , a position of the time will become which
lags behind than (this is called extinction angle)
Therefore, when S1 is on from 4 to 8, between 78 and 3 this load voltage is same as power supply
voltage. If gate signal comes into SCR at 5677 continuously, S2 is on and changed diode. And then
previous same operation is repeated. When current is at 0, a point of time lags behind 677 from 3=3. Also
the point of time is influenced on inductance. The value of both firing angle and resistance R are equal in
same power supply. If inductance is greater, operation becomes smaller but extinction angle 799 of
current is greater.

Size of load voltage is different even uniformity firing angle.
If size of AC voltage appears as an effective value but it is same with lower part if so calculate effective
value of waveform such as figure 5 by RMS value.
