Objective: To upgrade the existing three phase analog regulatory system, to a three phase,
microcontroller based SCR drive system.

Brief Description:
• Power supply
This is the first block of our system. We have used a step-down centre tap transformer,
with the voltage rating of 240V ac as primary voltage and 24-0-24V ac as the secondary
voltage. There is no rectifier circuit used in this section.

• Rectifier & Regulators

The stepped-down ac signal is supplied to the rectifier & regulation block. It consists of a
simple rectifier diode bridge network along with some filtering circuit, for smoothing out
the input signal. This filtered and rectified signal is then regulated using a positive
voltage regulator, to the desired value (say 5 V dc & 15 V dc) and also negative voltage
regulator to the desired value (say -15 V dc).

• ADC0808 and Controller 89C51RD2

The regulated signal then acts as the supply signal to the controller (89C51RD2), and is
fed to it as well as to ADC0808. This block is the decision making block, which decides
whether any fluctuation in the supply line has occurred or not. It continuously compares
the signal with the reference described in the software. If there is no change then SCR
will be fired by it at phase angle 0 deg. But if it finds some fluctuation, then it will
generate the pulse at a measured time delay to provide the firing angle of the SCR
(through gate) such that the fluctuations will be nullified, and the supply to the load
remains unaffected, in-spite the fluctuations.
 • SCR Bridge network

This block consists of a bridge of SCRs, whose gates will be controlled by the control
pins of the controller, to control their firing angle.

• Zero Crossing Detector

This circuit is containing of OP-AMP UA 741.This is mainly used to detect the zero
crossing of the input sine wave so that we can get synchronization.
