load commutationAchieved by a) The IL = 0 due to the nature of
load circuit parameters b) IL is transferred to another device
from conducting SCR
Principle Working of this chopper starts
only if the Capacitor “C” is charged

Thyristor working:
If T1,T2 – Main Thyristors, then T3,T4 & C forms commutating elements
If T3,T4 – Main Thyristors , then T1,T2 & C forms commutating elements
Assumptions:
Load current is constantThyristor and Diodes are Ideal

Mode 1 (t=o)T1,T2 are triggeredT3,T4 are reverse biased

Mode 2(T=T1)Capacitor gets chargedFree wheeling diode is forward biased

Mode 3(t=t2) T3,T4 are triggered
T1,T2 are reversed biased and turned-off

merits Capable of commutating any
amount of load current
No commutating inductor is required
As it can work in high frequencies (KHz),Filtering requirements are minimal

demerits Peak load voltage is twice the supply
voltageFor high power applications – higher
switching losses at high operating frequencies –efficiency may low
FD is subjected to twice the supply voltage
Capacitor current which is alternating to be sensed to turn on one pair of SCRs when the other pair is commutated
