Thyristor and Diode Converters

Thyristor and Diode Converters

•    The control panel has clear mimic diagrams with shrouded sockets.
•    Students use shrouded leads to connect the different parts of the circuits.
•    The parts include thyristors, diodes, inductors, transformers and smoothing capacitors.
•    A load inductor shows the effect of inductance when smoothing the AC ripple in rectifier circuits.
•    Fast-blow fuses on the control panel protect the load side of experiment circuits.
•    The multi-tapped transformers give a choice of single and three-phase AC voltages for connection to the diodes and thyristors.
•    A mix of standard analogue meters and a multi-function digital meter measure the currents and voltages in the circuits.
•    A centre-tapped interphase transformer shows the effect of reducing circulating currents in rectifier circuits.
•    Students use controls on the lower panel to adjust AC supply voltage and ballast resistance during experiments.
•    For thyristor experiments, students can select an external or internal source to trigger the gates of the thyristors.
•    Transducers allow students to connect an oscilloscope (included) to show and compare the gate pulses with the output wave-forms.
