Semiconductor Power Devices Q.1

Explain the operating principle of GTO

Ans. Gate turn off thyristor is turned on applying a positive pulse it consists of four layers, pnpn, as like conventional thyristors. Functions except for turnoff are the same as those of conventional thyristors, therefore, we mainly describe the turn-off operation here. In the on-state of a GTO thyristor , the central base regions are filled with holes supplied from the anode and electrons supplied from the cathode. If reverse bias is applied to make the gate negative in respect to the cathode, part of holes in the p-base layer are extracted through the gate, suppressing the injection of electrons from the cathode. More hole current is extracted through the gate in response to this suppression, further suppressing the electron injection. In the course of this process, the cathode emitter junction (J3) is put into a reverse-bias state entirely, GTO thyristor is turned off. Fig. 1 illustrates the turn-off operation, using a two-transistor model

Industrial Electronics Q.2

7

Explain Anode short GTO thyristor.

Ans. The structure for Anode short GTO thyristor is shown in Fig. 3 below:

At the J1 junction, the anode is partially shorted due to the n+ layers, so that the reverse voltage of the GTO thyristor is as small as that of the J3 junction (around 15V normally). However, excess carriers are extracted from the gate and from the n+ layer during the turn-off, enabling high-speed switching. This type of thyristor is suitable for applications that require high-speed switching but do not need high reverse voltage, such as voltage source inverters.

8 Q.3

Explain reverse conducting GTO thyristor.

Ans

The structure of reverse conducting GTO thyristor is shown in Fig. 4 below.

The reverse conducting GTO thyristor consists of a fast recovery diode part and the anode short GTO thyristor part, the former of which is connected in parallel to the latter. The thyristor is the same type as the one described above. This is suitable for application to voltage source inverters for example, where a GTO thyristor requires Flywheel diode. No additional diode is necessary if this GTO thyristor is used, reducing the system size and weight.

Q.4

Explain what do you mean by MOSFET?

Ans

Mosfet Metal (or poly-silicon doped heavily to act like a metal). Oxide (SiO2, Acts as an insulator.). Semiconductor (One can selectively change the carrier type to n-type or p-type.) Field Effect (Device is controlled by an electric field as opposed to current.) Transistor (Three terminal devices)

The advantages of the lateral MOSFET are: 1. Low gate signal power requirement. No gate current can flow into the gate after the small gate oxide capacitance has been charged. 2. Fast switching speeds because electrons can start to flow from drain to source as soon as the channel opens. The channel depth is proportional to the gate volage and pinches closed as soon as the gate voltage is removed, so there is no storage time effect as occurs in bipolar transistors. The major disadvantages are 1. High resistance channels. In normal operation, the source is electrically connected to the substrate. With no gate bias, the depletion region extends out from the Nadrain in a pseudo-hemispherical shape. The channel length L cannot be made shorter than the minimum depletion width required to support the rated voltage of the device. 2. Channel resistance may be decreased by creating wider channels but this is costly since it uses up valuable silicon real estate. It also slows down the switching speed of the device by increasing its gate capacitance.

Unit 2

Rectifiers & Inverters Q.1 Discuss In Short The Parallel Operation Of Thyristors. Ans. When thyristors are connected in parallel, the load current is not shared equally ,the current unbalance increases the junction temperature of the SCR carrying the higher current and decreases its internal resistance this increases its current sharing and may damage the thyristor.A A small resistance connected in series will force equal current sharing.

Magnetically coupled inductors can assure equal current sharing during the transient period.

Q.2 Explain di/dt thyristor protection. Ans. A thyristor requires a minimum time to spread the current conduction uniformly throughout the junction.If the rate-of-rise of anode current is very fast compared to the spreading velocity of a turn-on process, a hot spot will

12 occur.As a result of the excessive temperature, the device may fail.Therefore, in practical circuits the device must be protected against high di/dt. Let us consider the following circuit.

Dm will conduct when thyristor T1 is off.If T1 is fired when Dm is still conducting, di/dt can be very high.In practice, the di/dt is limited by adding a series inductor Ls.Then

If the switch S is closed at t = 0, a step voltage will be applied across the 1 thyristor T .The dv/dt may be high enough to turn on the device.The dv/dt 1 can be limited by connecting a capacitor C across T .When the thyristor T is s 1 1 turned on, the discharge current of capacitor is limited by resistor R .The RC s circuit is known as a snubber circuit, and the voltage across the thyristor will rise exponentially.The circuit dv/dt can be found approximately from: The snubber circuit can be designed based on the known value of the dv/dt for a device.

What do you mean by three phase dual converter? The four quadrant operation is generally required in variable-speed drives application for this we have to imply a converter which can work in all four quadrants the three-phase dual converters are extensively used for there purposes. In this when first group is working as inverter than the second group is working as rectifier and when first group is working as rectifier then second group is working as inverter

14 The following figure1 shows three-phase dual converters where two threephase converters are connected back-to-back and the waveforms for input voltages, output voltages, and the voltage across the inductor.

fig1 Three phase dual converter circuit and waveform Due to instantaneous voltage differences between the output voltages of converters, a circulating current flows through the converters. This circulating current is limited by a reactor. The two converters are controlled in such a way that if α1 is the delay angle of converter 1, the delay angle of converter 2 is α2 = π- α1. Q.5

Discuss the effects of source and load impedance.

Ans

The source inductance should be as small as possible to limit the transient voltage. Also source inductance may cause commutation problem for the chopper. Usually an input filter is used to overcome the problem of source

Power Supplies Q.1 What do you mean by chopper ? Name its different classifications. Ans. A Chopper is a static device using it a variable dc voltage is obtained from a constant dc voltage source. It is also known as dc-to-dc converter and is widely used for motor control and in regenerative braking. Choppers are of Two Types:1) Step-down choppers. In this output voltage is less than input voltage 2) Step-up choppers. In step up chopper output voltage is more than input voltage. We can classify choppers as Class A Chopper Class B Chopper Class C Chopper Class D Chopper Class E Chopper

Q.2 Explain different classes of choppers in detail. Ans. The different classes of choppers are as follows 1.Class A chopper Class A Chopper is a first quadrant chopper .In these when the chopper is ON, supply voltage V is connected across the load and when the chopper is OFF, vO = 0 and the load current continues to flow in the same direction through the freewheeling diode ,the average values of output voltage and current are always positive. Class A Chopper is a step-down chopper in which power always flows form source to load.

Class B Chopper:

26 In this average output voltage is positive and average output current is negative, therefore Class B Chopper operates in second quadrant. Class B Chopper is a step-up chopper in this chopper, power flows from load to source. When chopper is ON, E drives a current through L and R in a direction opposite to that shown in figure. During the ON period of the chopper, the inductance L stores energy. When Chopper is OFF, diode D conducts, and part of the energy stored in inductor L is returned to the supply. Class B Chopper is used for regenerative braking of dc motor. The equivalent circuit diagram for the Class B or second quadrant chopper is shown in fig (2.a) and fig (2.b) respectively,

When CH1 is ON, the load current is positive and the output voltage is equal to ‘V’ & the load receives power from the source and when CH1 is turned OFF, energy stored in inductance L forces current to flow through the diode D2 and the output voltage is zero and the Current continues to flow in positive direction. When CH2 is triggered, the voltage E forces current to flow in opposite direction through L and CH2, the output voltage is zero now on turning OFF

28 CH2 , the energy stored in the inductance drives current through diode D1 and the supply output voltage is V, the input current becomes negative and power flows from load to source. Average output voltage is positive while average output current can take both positive and negative values. Some point to keep in mind regarding Class C chopper are :• Choppers CH1 & CH2 should not be turned ON simultaneously as it would result in short circuiting the supply. •

Class C Chopper can be used both for dc motor control and regenerative braking of dc motor.



Class C Chopper can be used as a step-up or step-down chopper.

30 The average load voltage is positive if chopper ON time is more than the OFF time i.e. tON > tOFF and average output voltage becomes negative if tON < tOFF .

Class E Chopper Class E is a four quadrant chopper. When CH1 and CH4 are triggered, output current io flows in positive direction through CH1 and CH4, and with output voltage vO = V, this gives the first quadrant operation. When both CH1 and

CH4 are OFF, the energy stored in the inductor L drives iO through D2 and D3 in the same direction, but output voltage vO = -V. Therefore the chopper operates in the fourth quadrant. When CH2 and CH3 are triggered, the load current io flows in opposite direction & output voltage vO = -V. Since both iO and vO are negative, the chopper operates in third quadrant. When both CH2 and CH3 are OFF, the load current iO continues to flow in the same direction D1 and D4 and the output voltage vO = V. Therefore the chopper operates in second quadrant as vO is positive but iO is negative.

Unit 5

Stepper Motors Q.1 What is stepper motor ? Ans. A Stepper Motor or a step motor is a brushless, synchronous motor which divides a full rotation into a number of steps. Unlike a brushless DC motor which rotates continuously when a fixed DC voltage is applied to it, a step motor rotates in discrete step angles.A stepper (or, stepping) motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. Q.2 Explain how stepper motor works. Ans. Stepper motors work on the principle of electromagnetism. There is a soft iron or magnetic rotor shaft surrounded by the electromagnetic stators. The rotor and stator have poles which may be teethed or not depending upon the type of stepper. When the stators are energized the rotor moves to align itself along with the stator (in case of a permanent magnet type stepper) or moves to have a minimum gap with the stator (in case of a variable reluctance stepper). This way the stators are energized in a sequence to rotate the stepper motor. Q.3 Explain Variable reluctance stepper motor ? Ans. The variable reluctance stepper has a toothed non-magnetic soft iron rotor. When the stator coil is energized the rotor moves to have a minimum gap between the stator and its teeth. The teeth of the rotor are designed so that when they are aligned with one stator they get misaligned with the next stator. Now when the next stator is energized, the rotor moves to align its teeth with the next stator. This way energizing stators in a fixed sequence completes the rotation of the step motor.The resolution of a variable reluctance stepper can be increased by increasing the number of teeth in the rotor and by increasing the number of phases. Q.4

Give the classification on the basis of phase for step motor ?

For free study notes log on: www.gurukpo.com

38 Ans. The step motors are mostly two phase motors. 1. Unipolar 2. Bipolar.

The process of movement generation is as under

rotor follows the stator field one step invert magnetic field in 1 coil for the next step invert magnetic field in the other coil A stepper motor always needs electronic control. step angle depends on number of poles -> fixed by construction Q.5 Explain Unipolar stepper motor ? Ans. The unipolar motor have five, six or eight leads. In the designs where the common of two poles are separate but centre tapped, motor have six leads. If the centre taps of the two poles are internally short, the motor has five leads. Eight lead unipolar facilitates both series and parallel connection whereas five lead and six lead motors have series connection of stator coils. The unipolar motor simplifies the operation because in operating them there is no need to reverse the current in the driving circuit. These are also called bifilar motors. In bipolar stepper there is single winding per pole. The direction of current need to be changed by the driving circuit so the driving circuit of the bipolar stepper becomes complex. These are also called unifilar motors. Q.6

Explain Permanent Magnet Stepper motor ?

39

Ans. The rotor and stator poles of a permanent magnet stepper are not teethed. Instead the rotor have alternative north and south poles parallel to the axis of the rotor shaft.When a stator is energized, it develops electromagnetic poles. The magnetic rotor aligns along the magnetic field of the stator. The other stator is then energized in the sequence so that the rotor moves and aligns itself to the new magnetic field. This way energizing the stators in a fixed sequence rotates the stepper motor by fixed angles.The resolution of a permanent magnet stepper can be increased by increasing number of poles in the rotor or increasing the number of phases.
