Answer #1

The phase of the AC signal is varied in SCR circuits so that the SCR circuits can be turned ON & turned OFF.

The result of varying the phase is that when the signal is positive half cycle and the when the anode voltage is present and gate voltage is sufficient to turn ON the SCR. Once triggered SCR will be ON. And as phase varies at one anode - cathode voltage is not sufficient and SCR will turn OFF. And in negative cycle the voltage polarity is reversed so SCR will not conduct.

A single phase AC induction motor need to be controlled by varying its input frequency. The supply frequency is a single phase with 50 Hz and the input frequency to the motor is controlled to be 12.5 Hz. Design a Full-wave rectifier (Cycloconverter), show the conversion of 5 cycles, and explain its operation. And show how the output voltage of Cycloconverters can be controlled to get a waveform shape near sine wave.
