R Triggering PDF

The document discusses different triggering circuits for silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), beginning with the simplest resistance (R) triggering circuit. It describes how the R triggering circuit works using a current limiting resistor R1, variable resistor R2 to control firing angle, and stabilizing resistor R. The firing angle can be varied from 0 to 90 degrees based on the value of R2 and the ratio of gate voltage to trigger voltage. Waveforms are provided to illustrate examples when the firing angle is 90 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

Many of these circuits are not sophisticated and
not used practically but they provide a basic
understanding of the SCR triggering

R Triggering Ckt...contd
• Simplest triggering circuit
• Limited triggering angle range (0° to 90°)
• Performance depends upon temperature &
SCR characteristics
• In the above fig. R1 is the current limiting
resistor, R2 is the variable resistor which
controls the firing angle and R is the stabilizing
resistor

16-Oct-12 EE-321N, Lec-10 4


R Triggering Ckt...contd
• If R2 = 0, then the current is limited by R1.
• This current should not > max. permissible
gate current Igm. Therefore, R1 can be found as
follows
Vm Vm
I gm   R1 
R1 I gm

16-Oct-12 EE-321N, Lec-10 5


R Triggering Ckt...contd
• R is chosen s. t. max. voltage across it doesn’t
exceed max. forward gate voltage Vgm.
Therefore,
Vm Vgm R1
R  Vgm  R  ,  R2  0 
R  R1 Vm  Vgm

R Triggering Ckt...contd
• Gate trigger ckt draws a small current due to
large values of R1 & R2.
• Gate voltage vg is a half wave pulse because
diode D allows the flow of current only in +ve
half cycle. Its amplitude is governed by R2
• Next, we discuss cases for different values of
R2

16-Oct-12 EE-321N, Lec-10 7


Case 1: R2 is large, No triggering
• When R2 is large, current i is small and voltage
vg = iR is also small
• If peak value of gate voltage Vgp < VGT , SCR will
not turn ON and accordingly there will be no
O/P voltage or current and the supply voltage
will appear ax the SCR

16-Oct-12 EE-321N, Lec-10 8


Case 2: α = 90°
• When R2 is decreased s. t. Vgp = VGT , α = 90° is
obtained which can’t increase beyond this
value
• This is because the thyristor latches into
conduction as soon as Vgp becomes equal to
VGT for the first time

16-Oct-12 EE-321N, Lec-10 9


Case 3: α < 90°
• When Vgp > VGT , α < 90°
• Also α can’t be zero however large vg may be.
• Min. value of α is about 2° − 4° (which is
obtained when R2 = 0)
• Relationship between Vgp & VGT is
Vgp sinα = VGT
or, α = sin−1 (VGT/Vgp )

All other quantities except R2 are fixed. Hence
firing angle is proportional to R2

Tip for
Drawing Waveforms
• Use a graph paper or math notebook (with
squares) to draw waveforms
• This will help you to remember (& draw fast in
exam!) the waveforms easily
• Take 1 cm = 30° (on x-axis) & 2 cm = max. amp.
of sine wave (on y-axis). Use different colors for
showing different waves on same axis
