The document discusses a single phase semiconverter circuit used in power electronics. It contains a half bridge configuration with two SCRs and two diodes connected in a bridge. During the positive half cycle, SCR T1 and diode D2 conduct to deliver power to the load. During the negative half cycle, diode D3 and SCR T4 conduct. Waveforms and examples with resistive, inductive, and resistive-inductive-emissive loads are provided.
4. SEMI CONVERTER
It is a single quadrant converter.
It has only one polarity of output
voltage and current.
Here two SCRs and two diodes are
connected in bridge configuration.
They can be arranged in two
confg. namely symmetrically &
asymmetrical.
