INTRODUCTION
DC motors are generally fed from undulated dc. In normal case it does
not create any problem. But when fed to a high power motor, it creates
appreciable amount of noise & a high temperature rise. The reason is
as follows,-
Fabricate a d.c component within which the a.c component will be less
than 5%.
So, in total, we may say the objective of our project is two folds-
iii) The filtering circuit is used to reduce the ripples of undulated d.c.
We will illustrate the working of each of this part in detail in
subsequent sections.

SINGLE PHASE SEMICONVERTER
We know that semiconverter construction may be of two types,-
namely symmetrical & unsymmetrical. We prefer here the
unsymmetrical type of construction because in that case although in
this case, we have to provide an extra freewheeling diode, but we can
utilize the common cathode connection. By using the common cathode
connection, we will be able to trigger the two SCRs with the help of
single triggering circuit.
• A single phase semi converter bridge with two thyristor and three
diodes is used here.
• The two thyristors are T1 and T2; two diodes are D1, D2
In the phase shift method of firing the scr, an R-C or R-L network is
used to delay the gate signal with respect to anode voltage. It offers a
simple method of timing the SCR gate pulse in reference to a.c power
line variations.
Here we use a basic phase shifter network for full wave phase
control with a d.c output to a load. To utilize both halves of a.c cycle,
the SCRs are connected in a bridge circuit and are fired by gate pulses
on alternate half cycles.
This circuit can shift the firing angle 180 0, giving almost
complete control of the a.c power supply. Here the firing circuit is
supplied from the same a.c supply by using a step down, centre tap
transformer. Purpose for using this transformer is-
i)To trigger the scr in a sine wave, the same frequency as the power supply.
ii) This transformer acts as isolating transformer which isolates the firing
circuit i.e. the phase shift network.
iii) By using this transformer we use a single supply instead of using an extra
supply for the firing circuit. So it also reduces the cost.

These two values are the boundary condition but manipulating for various

The value of resistances for α = 600 is 0.342k and for 𝜶=1400 is 9.8k .

TRIGGERING OF THYRISTOR USING UJT
A synchronized UJT triggering circuit is shown in figure bellow. Diodes D 1-D4
rectifies ac to dc. Resistor R1 lowers Vdc to a suitable value for the zener diode and
UJT. Zener diode Z functions to clip the rectified voltage to a standard level V z is
applied to the charging circuit RC. Current i 1 charges the capacitor C at a rate
determined by R. When voltage across capacitor V c reaches the UJT threshold
voltage Vz, the E-B1 junction of UJT breaks down and the capacitor discharges
through primary of pulse transformer sending a current i2.
As the current i2 is in form of pulse, windings of the pulse transformer have
pulse voltages at their secondary terminals. This voltage is applied to the gate of
SCR which trigger the SCR. As soon as the capacitor discharges, it starts charging
and prepares for next pulse. The time of charging of capacitor is controlled by
varying the resistance R. The firing angle can be controlled up to about 150 0.

FILTERING CIRCUIT
Why LC Filter?
An inductor L in series with the load reduces the ac component, or ac
ripples, considerably. It is because L in series with load offers high
impedance to ac component but very low resistance to d.c. Thus ac
component gets attenuated considerably.

CALCULATION OF FILTERING CIRCUIT
Input voltage to the filter V0 = Vm(1 + cosα)/π
Vm = 240 X √2 = 339.41V

DESIGN OF INDUCTOR

FUTURE SCOPES
We can achieve best performance from a dc machine when
supply to it is pure dc. So our ultimate aim should be to
produce dc voltage with zero percent ripple. So here future
scope of works lie.
Here we have used RC triggering circuit & UJT triggering
circuit. But there are so many methods available to trigger an
SCR bridge (e.g. different timers etc); though many of them are
very efficient and reliable but their cost is proportionately high
also. So there should be a compromise between the efficiency,
simplicity and cost of it. And therefore more new design of
triggering circuit is needed.
As we have not designed the snubber circuit for SCR circuit, a
transient voltage has appeared at the time of switching across
the load and as a result the avg. voltage of the DC output
voltage gets increased. Until the transient period could be
reduced it can’t be fed to the DC motor generator set.

CONCLUSION
Our expectation from the designed circuit is –
iv) The circuit should be able to carry the full load current(5 amp).
