Abstract
Power electronic circuit convert electric power from one form to another form using electronic devices and functions by using semiconductor devices as switches. Power electronics circuits are circuits handling transformers, rectifiers, Thyristors, Traices and Diacs with other conventional elements such as resistors, capacitors, coils, diodes and transistors. In our project we learn how to design and build these circuits with appropriate elements ratings. These circuits will include the different applications of Thyristor and thus provides a data base of principles and basics for a power electronic laboratory.     Power semiconductor devices are the most important functional elements in all power conversion applications such as scr (silicon controlled rectifier), the bidirectional Triode (TRIAC), and the bidirectional Trigger Diode (DIAC). The power devices are mainly used as switches to convert power from one form to another. They are used in motor control systems, uninterrupted power supplies, high-voltage dc transmission, power supplies, induction heating, and in many other power conversion applications. A review of the basic characteristics of these power devices is presented in the first chapter. This report is divided into three main chapters, the first chapter about power electronic semiconductor devices as we mentioned above, the second chapter will include the application of Thyristors that we study in our project and the third part will include the circuit we build and study in our project. <
