What is the difference between current and voltage commutation?

Voltage commutation: This is possible in ac circuits...The thyristor gets turned off by reverse bias (negative half cycle) voltage applied across it. This is also called line commutation. Current Commutation: This is possible in dc circuits ...This type of commutation makes use of auxiliary circuit which contains inductor,capacitor,diode and even a thyristor(auxiliary). This is called Forced commutation.


What does forced commutation mean?

The term "Forced commutation" is used when a thyristor is turned off using external components. If a thyristor is used in a DC circuit, when first turned on, it will stay on until the current goes to zero. To turn off the thyristor it is possible to use a Forced commutation circuit. The circuit creates a reverse voltage over the thyristor (and a small reverse current) for a short time, but long enough to turn off the thyristor. A simple circuit consist of a precharged capacitor and a switch (e.g. another thyristor) parallel to the thyristor. When the switch is closed, the current is supplied by the capacitor for a short while. This cause a reversed voltage over the thyristor, and the thyristor is turned off.


What is line commutation?

i think i know this answer...line commutation is the commutation in single phase inverters/converters when there is current flow back to the source.. It can also refer to a method of turning of a semiconductor device known as a Thyristor or SCR, sometimes called natural commutation. In this method the current between the anode and cathode is interrupted or dropped to a point where the Thyristor can no longer maintain its latch or keep conducting, shutting the device off.

What is overlap angel of a thyristor?

Overlap angle of a rectifier (μ): The commutation process in a practical rectifier is not instantaneous. During the period of commutation, both the incoming and the outgoing devices conduct current simultaneously. This period, expressed in radians, is called the overlap angle "μ" of a rectifier. It is easily verified that α + μ + γ = π radian.α= Firing angelμ=Overlap angelγ =extiction angel

What is conduction angle in thyristor?

not a clue a A: It all depends on the thyristor. There are no calculation involved not until you look up the thyristor specifications and decide on the load of the thyristor then you may calculate or more likely choose.
