Abstract :
A single-phase-to-three-phase cycloconverter system operating from a 50 Hz input has been simulated under various loading conditions using a PSPICE circuit simulator. The Giacolleto SCR model has been modified. Detailed waveforms of load voltage, load current, and current of various semiconductor-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) have been plotted. It has been demonstrated that for low and medium L/R loads a simple constant firing angle sequence works well, whereas the cosine wave crossing method (CWCM) seems to be optimum for high L/R loads. Theoretical results are validated with the experimental results
