Abstract :
A microcomputer, the Altair 8800, was used to generate the gating signals for a single-phase-to-single-phase cycloconverter, keeping the same firing angle on all thyristors for a particular output voltage and frequency. The power circuit and the required interface circuits were built. Output waveforms for different firing angles and output frequencies were obtained.
