Theory:

Single Phase Full Converter:


The single phase full converter consists of four controlled thyristors T1,
T2, T3 and T4.Assume load is highly inductive and load current is continuous
and ripple free. Single-Phase Full Converter converts the AC signal to DC signal
and utilizes thyristor only. The utilization of thyristor only for the conversion
process makes it fully controllable and provides wider control over the level of
DC output voltage. A single-phase full-wave bridge converter utilizes four SCRs
or thyristors.T1 and T2 are forward biased during positive half cycle and starts to
conduct when firing pulses are triggered at ωt = α. Due to the continuous
conduction (inductive load) thyristors T1 and T2 continues to conduct even when
the input supply becomes negative and conduction continues until the firing of
next thyristors T3 and T4 occurs at ωt = π + α.
During the period at ωt=αto input supply voltage and current are positive
and converter operates as rectifier as power flows from supply to load. During
the period at ωt = π to π+ α input supply voltage is negative and current is positive
and converter operates as inverter as power flows from load to supply.
At ωt = π+α thyristors T3 and T4 are triggered. Firing of T3 and T4 applies
the input supply voltage as reverse blocking voltage for thyristors TI and T2 and
reverse biases T1 and T2. This type of commutation is called line or natural
commutation.

Single Phase Semi Converter:
The single-phase semi converter consists of two controlled thyristors T1
and T2 and two uncontrolled diodes D1 and D2. Diode D1 is forward biased
during positive half cycle and D2 is forward biased during negative cycle. T1 and
DI starts to conduct when firing angle is triggered at ωt = α and T2 and D2
conducts at ωt = π + α.
During the period at ωt = α to π and at ωt = π to 2π+ α input supply voltage
and current are positive and converter operates as rectifier as power flows from
supply to load.

V0(avg) = (1 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛼)
