AC PHACE CONTROL CONVERTER
In phase control the Thyristors are used as
switches to connect the load circuit to the input ac
supply, for a part of every input cycle. That is the
ac supply voltage is chopped using Thyristors
during
a
part
of
each
input
cycle.





The mean output voltage
The relation of mean output voltage in terms of firing angle for half-wave
single phase controlled rectifier for R in series with L load.
