SSGMCE Shegaon • What is Commutation? The process of turning off an SCR is called commutation. It is achieved by • Reducing anode current below holding current • Make anode negative with respect to cathode • Types of commutation are: • Natural or line commutation • Forced commutation Dept. of E & T Prof. V. N. Bhonge
SCR Turnoff Methods SSGMCE Shegaon • Diverting the anode current to an alternate path • Shorting the SCR from anode to cathode • Applying a reverse voltage (by making the cathode positive with respect to the anode) across the SCR • Forcing the anode current to zero for a brief period • Opening the external path from its anode supply voltage • Momentarily reducing supply voltage to zero Dept. of E & T Prof. V.

a) Natural Commutation: Becauseof the load current varies sinusoidally, the thyristor should be turned –off when the load current falls below the holding value: ILoad<IH . Furthermore, in the negative half cycle, the applied source voltage being negative with respect to anode-cathode terminals, causing reverse biasing of the device. Principle electrical circuit is shown below:
b) Forced Commutation: In this case, because of no alternating character of the current “ DC “, therefore it must force decreases by applying the following approaches: - the load current must reduced below the holding value: ILoad<IH -by applying negative voltage across the thyristor, causing forced removing of internal charge, therefore the load current falls below the holding value IH . Several techniques realized these approaches: • 1) Class A : Resonant Commutation • 2) Class B : Self Commutation • 3) Class C : Complementary Commutation • 4) Class D : Auxiliary Commutation • 5) Class E : External Pulse commutation • 6) Class F : Line- commutation

Series-Resonant Inverter ECE 442 Power Electronics
Operation T1 fired, resonant pulse of current flows through the load. The current falls to zero at t = t1m and T1 is “self – commutated”. T2 fired, reverse resonant current flows through the load and T2 is also “self-commutated”. The series resonant circuit must be underdamped, R2 < (4L/C)
Operation in Mode 1 – Fire T1 ECE 442 Power Electronics
To find the time when the current is maximum, set the first derivative = 0
To find the capacitor voltage, integrate the current The current i1 becomes = 0 @ t=t1m
To avoid a short-circuit across the main dc supply, T1 must be turned OFF before T2 is turned ON, resulting in a “dead zone”. This “off-time” must be longer than the turn-off time of the thyristors, tq. The maximum possible output frequency is
Improvement in performance • When T1 turned ON, voltage @ L1 is as shown, voltage @ L2 in same direction, adding to the voltage @ C • This turns T2 OFF before the load current falls to 0.
Half-Bridge Series Resonant Inverter Note: L1 = L2 C1 = C2
This configuration reduces the high-pulsed current from the dc supply • Power drawn from the source during both half-cycles of the output. • Half of the current is supplied from the associated capacitor, half of the current is supplied from the source.
