Aim:
To generate a variable ac voltage supply using 1 phase ac voltage regulator. The output
voltage of the regulator is varied by varying the firing angle given to the thyristor.
Operation:
AC voltage controllers (ac line voltage controllers) are employed to vary the RMS value
of the alternating voltage applied to a load circuit by introducing Thyristors between the load and
a constant voltage ac source. The RMS value of alternating voltage applied to a load circuit is
controlled by controlling the triggering angle of the Thyristors in the ac voltage controller
circuits.
There are two different types of thyristor control used in practice to control the ac power flow:
1) Phase control
2) On-Off control
In On-Off control technique Thyristors are used as switches to connect the load circuit to the ac
supply (source) for a few cycles of the input ac supply and then to disconnect it for few input
cycles. The Thyristors thus act as a high speed contactor (or high speed ac switch).
The user will select the voltage that is required by using a potentiometer. Now the
potentiometer gives the signal to the ADC and the ADC will convert the analog data in to digital
and will give it to the controller. Now the controller will generate the required gate pulse for all
the SCR’s. Controller will display the RMS value of the output voltage on the LCD display. This
will make the user to read the output voltage directly on the LCD.
