• The load current is discontinuous for low values
  of load inductance and for large values of
  trigger angles.
• For large values of load inductance the load
  current flows continuously without falling to
  zero.
• Generally the load current is continuous for
  large load inductance and for low trigger angles.

Drawbacks Of Full Wave Controlled Rectifier
With Centre Tapped Transformer

• We require a centre tapped transformer which is
  quite heavier and bulky.
• Cost of the transformer is higher for the
  required dc output voltage output power.
• Hence full wave bridge converters are preferred.

• vO1 Instantaneous o/p voltage of converter 1.
• vO2 Instantaneous o/p voltage of converter 2.
• The circulating current ir can be determined by
  integrating the instantaneous voltage difference
  (which is the voltage drop across the circulating
  current reactor Lr), starting from ?t (2? -
  ?1).
• As the two average output voltages during the
  interval ?t (??1) to (2? - ?1) are equal and
  opposite their contribution to the instantaneous
  circulating current ir is zero.

The Dual Converter Can Be Operated In Two
Different Modes Of Operation

• Non-circulating current (circulating current
  free) mode of operation.
• Circulating current mode of operation.

165
Prof. M. Madhusudhan Rao, EC Dept., MSRIT
166
Non-Circulating Current Mode of Operation

• In this mode only one converter is operated at a
  time.
• When converter 1 is ON, 0 lt ?1 lt 900
• Vdc is positive and Idc is positive.
• When converter 2 is ON, 0 lt ?2 lt 900
• Vdc is negative and Idc is negative.

166
Prof. M. Madhusudhan Rao, EC Dept., MSRIT
167
Circulating Current Mode Of Operation

• In this mode, both the converters are switched ON
  and operated at the same time.
• The trigger angles ?1 and ?2 are adjusted such
  that (?1 ?2) 1800 ?2 (1800 - ?1).

167
Prof. M. Madhusudhan Rao, EC Dept., MSRIT
168

• When 0 lt?1 lt900, converter 1 operates as a
  controlled rectifier and converter 2 operates as
  an inverter with 900 lt?2lt1800.
• In this case Vdc and Idc, both are positive.
• When 900 lt?1 lt1800, converter 1 operates as an
  Inverter and converter 2 operated as a controlled
  rectifier by adjusting its trigger angle ?2 such
  that 0 lt?2lt900.
• In this case Vdc and Idc, both are negative.

170
Advantages of Circulating Current Mode Of
Operation

• The circulating current maintains continuous
  conduction of both the converters over the
  complete control range, independent of the load.
• One converter always operates as a rectifier and
  the other converter operates as an inverter, the
  power flow in either direction at any time is
  possible.

170
Prof. M. Madhusudhan Rao, EC Dept., MSRIT
171

• As both the converters are in continuous
  conduction we obtain faster dynamic response.
  i.e., the time response for changing from one
  quadrant operation to another is faster.

171
Prof. M. Madhusudhan Rao, EC Dept., MSRIT
172
Disadvantages of Circulating Current Mode Of
Operation

• There is always a circulating current flowing
  between the converters.
• When the load current falls to zero, there will
  be a circulating current flowing between the
  converters so we need to connect circulating
  current reactors in order to limit the peak
  circulating current to safe level.
• The converter thyristors should be rated to carry
  a peak current much greater than the peak load
  current.
