Silicon diodes are widely used for converting ac power into dc power. Diodes start conducting when they are forward biased and start producing dc voltage at the output but the output voltage is uncontrolled. With the use of a thyristor, instead of a diode, the output voltage can be controlled to a desired level. A thyristor needs a triggering pulse at the gate, when forward biased, to conduct. By controlling the triggering (firing) angle, the output dc voltage can be controlled effectively. A single phase full-wave controlled bridge ac to dc converter, rectifier, using thyristors is presented in this paper. Behavior of rectifier feeding different kinds of loads is investigated. To obtain the voltage and current waveforms, a program called ATP, Alternative Transients Program, has been utilized. ATP is world's most widely used electro-magnetic transients program and is available for use to the licensed users free of charge. In this paper, for a phase- controlled thyristor based rectifier, it has been shown that the average value of dc output voltage is controllable and is a function of triggering angle.
