Single-Phase Half-wave Controlled
Converter – R Load
 When thyristor T1 is fired at ωt = α, thyristor T1
conducts and the input voltage appears across
the load.
 When the input voltage starts to be negative at
ωt = π, the thyristor is negative with respect to
2
ωt = π, the thyristor is negative with respect to
its cathode and thyristor T1 said to be reverse
biased and it is turned off.
 The time after the input voltage starts to go
negative until the thyristor is fired at ωt = α is
called the delay or firing angle α. .

Principle of Three-phase Half-wave
Controlled Converter
 Three-phase converters provide higher
average output voltage and in addition the
frequency of the ripples on the output voltage
is higher compared with that of single-phase
converters.
As a result, the filtering requirements for

 As a result, the filtering requirements for
smoothing out the load current and load
voltage are simpler.
 For these reasons, three-phase converters
are used extensively in high-power variable-
speed drives.

Principle of Three-phase Half-wave
Controlled Converter
 When thyristor T1 is fired at ωt = π/6 + α, the
phase voltage van appears across the load until
thyristor T2 is fired at ωt = 5π/6 + α.
 When thyristor T2 is fired, thyristor T1 is reverse
biased, because the line-to-line voltage, vab (=
22
biased, because the line-to-line voltage, vab (=
van – vbn), is negative and T1 is turned off.
 The phase voltage vbn appears across the load
until thyristor T3 is fired at ωt = 3π/2 + α.
 When thyristor T3, is fired, T2 is turned off and
vcn appears across the load until T1 is fired
again at the beginning of next cycle.
Principle of Three-phase Half-wave
Controlled Converter
 Figure 2.16(c) shows the input voltages, output
voltage, and the current through thyristor T1 for
a highly inductive load.
 For a resistive load and α  π/6, the load
current would be discontinuous and each
23
current would be discontinuous and each
thyristor is self-commutated when the polarity of
its phase voltage is reversed.
 However, this converter explains the principle
of the three-phase thyristor converter.
