INFERENCE:
In position control both distance and speed is controlled using the controller, hence
providing accuracy whereas velocity control is used when analog control is needed since the
voltage is controlled through external POT.

3. Give appropriate loads and measure and plot all the parameters in scope.
4. Record and observe the simulation results.
SIMULATION RESULTS

For R Load
1

Firing Angle=30.

2. Firing angle=60.

Firing angle = 120.

For RL Load
1

Firing angle = 30.

Firing angle = 60.

Firing angle = 120.

By changing the firing angle of Thyristor Switch, the output voltage of the converter is varied.
Also by using an Inductor in the load the graph of the output current obtained is constant.
INFERENCE

AC voltage from the source is converted to DC voltage output and

Control over the output dc voltage is obtained by controlling the conduction interval of each
thyristor.

As the firing angle of the MOSFET is varied, the average value of the output voltage varies.
