POWER ELECTRONICS LAB

Objective: The main objective of power electronics lab is to familiarize the students with latest
technologies based on solid state power semiconductor devices. This provides the basic practical
knowledge in the application of power electronics in electrical drives and machines like thyristorised
speed control of dc and induction motors.

Outcome:
1. Awareness of the main power electronic devices currently available, and their basic operating
characteristics from a users viewpoint.
2. Knowledgeable about single and three phase thyristor controlled rectifier circuits, and be able to draw
their output waveforms and perform simple calculations on them.
3. Ability to explain the operation of single and three phase voltage source converter circuits, and draw
their output waveforms.

List of Experiments:
Any 10 of the following Experiments are to be conducted.
1. Study of Characteristics of SCR, MOSFET & IGBT
2. Gate firing circuits for SCRs
3. Forced Commutation circuits (Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D & Class E)
4. Single Phase Half controlled converter with R and RL load.
5. Single Phase fully controlled bridge converter with R and RL loads
6. Single Phase AC Voltage Controller with R and RL Loads
7. Single Phase Cyclo-converter with R and RL loads
8. Single Phase Bridge inverter with R and RL loads
9. Single Phase series inverter with R and RL loads
10. Single Phase Parallel, inverter with R and RL loads
11. Single Phase dual converter with RL loads
12. Chopper controlled DC motor

Additional experiments:
1. Three Phase half controlled bridge converter with R-load.

2. Speed control of single phase Dual converter fed dc motor.
