EXPERIMENT 3
POWER CONTROL IN AC CIRCUITS
USING AN AC CHOPPER: LAMP DIMMER
Introduction:
AC-AC converters are mainly employed as controlling power in AC circuits. One of
the solid-state switching devices, the triac, will be used in the construction of the ACAC converter. This converter is also a good example in understanding the behavior of
phase-controlled AC choppers.

General Information:
AC-to-AC converters have a wide range use in the industry. Applications such as light
dimmers, AC motor controllers, heat controllers, uninterruptable power supplies are
some examples for AC-AC converters. There are many different types of AC
converters but basically, they produce an output voltage at the same frequency as
input AC signal with variable amplitudes. These converters are also known as AC
choppers.
There are many different methods AC choppers use in producing variable AC output
voltages. In this experiment students will construct a Single-Phase Full-Wave
Controller (Phase Controlled AC Chopper) with resistive load. Figure 1 shows the
basic phase-controlled AC chopper with resistive load.
The anti-parallel connection of SCR thyristors gives the opportunity to control current
in both positive and negative directions. This switch combination is a called
bidirectional switch. You have seen in the first experiment that the triac has this
bidirectional property. The anti-parallel SCR thyristors in Figure 1 can be replaced by
a triac, but for simplicity of understanding thyristors will be used while giving general
information. Other types of bidirectional switches can be composed by thyristors or

attending the laboratory.

Figure 1. Phase-controlled AC chopper with resistive load.
Voltage vs is a sinusoidal input to the basic circuit shown in Figure 1 (it can be
considered as the mains 220VRMS, 50 Hz). During the positive half cycle of input
voltage, the power flow is controlled by varying the delay angle of the thyristor T1;
and thyristor T2 controls the power flow during the negative half cycle. The firing
pulses of T1 and T2 are kept 180º (π radians) apart. The waveforms for the input
voltage, output voltage and gating signals for T1 and T2 are shown in Figure 2.

If vs = Vm sin(ωt ) is the input voltage and the delay angles of thyristors T1 and T2 are
equal ( α1 = α 2 = α ) the RMS output voltage (Vo) can be found from:

By varying α from 0 to π, Vo,rms can be varied from Vs,rms to 0 as can be clearly seen
from Figure 3 (angle α must be in radians when substituting in above equation). Note

Students are advised to take a look at the behavior, triggering properties and control
range of a phase controlled AC for resistive-inductive loading from reference [1] or
other references.
Procedure of Experiment:
Students will perform four procedures using the equipment supplied by the laboratory.
Procedure 1 gives information about the working principle of the triggering unit. In
procedures 2 - 4 you will set the phase controlled AC chopper shown in Figure 1 for
resistive (R), resistive inductive (R - L) and purely inductive loads, respectively and
observe their behavior.

IMPORTANT:
Always check and be cautious on following the safety rules given bellow:
1. Before applying the mains power, always show your set-up to laboratory
assistants or course instructor.
2. Check if your circuit set-up is correct.
3. Check if the protection ground is connected.
4. Always set the pulse controller reference voltage to zero before applying the
mains.
5. Use a multi-meter to check the current to protect the equipment from excessive
current.
