How does the three-phase thyristor power controller control power?

A three-phase thyristor power controller is a standard electronic device that controls power by controlling the phase and amplitude of three-phase alternating current. Here is a detailed description of its control power:

Working principle of three-phase thyristor power controller

The three-phase thyristor power controller comprises a complete control bridge and a trigger circuit. The three-phase fully controlled bridge includes six thyristors, two of which are connected in series to form one phase. The function of the trigger circuit is to generate a trigger signal to control the turn-on and turn-off of each thyristor.

Control method of three-phase thyristor power controller

A three-phase thyristor power controller can control power in two ways:

  • Phase shift control: Control the power by changing the phase angle of the trigger signal. Specifically, when the emphasis needs to be increased, the phase angle of the trigger signal will be advanced; when the administration needs to be reduced, the phase angle of the trigger signal will be delayed. By adjusting the phase angle, the conduction time of each thyristor can be controlled, thereby controlling the amplitude and phase of the current.

  • Pulse Width Modulation (PWM): Controls power by varying the pulse width of a trigger signal. The PWM semaphore is a square wave signal whose pulse width can be changed by adjusting the duty cycle. When the duty cycle is large, the pulse width is vast, the thyristor conduction time is long, and the current is significant; when the duty cycle is small, the pulse width is narrow, the thyristor conduction time is short, and the current is small. By adjusting the duty cycle, the amplitude and frequency of the current can be controlled.

Advantages of three-phase thyristor power controller

The three-phase thyristor power controller has the following advantages:

  • High control accuracy: By adjusting the phase angle and pulse width of the trigger signal, the amplitude and phase of the current can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving high-precision power control.

  • Fast response speed: The three-phase thyristor power controller has a quick response speed and can achieve rapid power adjustment in a short time.

  • High reliability: The three-phase thyristor power controller adopts a fully controlled bridge structure, and each thyristor can be owned independently, thus improving the reliability of the system.

  • High efficiency: A three-phase thyristor power controller can reduce power loss and improve system efficiency.

  • Long service life: The three-phase thyristor power controller adopts a solid-state circuit design, has no mechanical wear and noise, and has a long service life.

  • Easy maintenance: The three-phase thyristor power controller has a self-diagnostic function, which can automatically detect faults and alarms, making it convenient for users to perform maintenance.
