AIM:
To study UJT Triggering Circuit for SCR

APPRATUS:
1. Dual Trace SCR
2. Digital Multimeter
3. Trainer kit
4. Load resistors, Connectors, etc.
THEORY:

This training system is designed to explain working principles of UJT triggering


circuit.UJT exhibits negative resistance characteristics hence it is operating under relaxation
mode.Basically R & R-C triggering circuits provide long duration gate pulses which
increases gate losses so that sharp & narrow pulses are preferred for SCR which can be
obtained from UJT relaxation oscillator.Here a line synchronized UJT triggering circuit is
used which consists of a bridge rectifier (without filter), a zener regulator & an UJT
relaxation oscillator.

Circuit Operation:
AC input applied to bridge rectifier provides pulsated full wave dc
voltage. The o/p of bridge rectifier is regulated by a zener regulator to a predetermined
value. Resistor Rz is current limiting resistor through zener. The regulated o/p Vz is given to
UJT relaxation oscillator as VBB . When supply is switched ON capacitor starts charging

towards Vz through R1 & R. When capacitor voltage reaches to Vp, junction E-B1 breaks &
UJT starts conducting. As UJT conducts, capacitor C discharges through UJT and a sharp &
narrow current pulse is obtained across secondary of pulse transformer which is given to
gate of SCR.

PROCEDURE:

1. Ensuring all pots at minimum position switch on the trainer kit.


2. Observe waveforms at o/p of bridge rectifier, across zener.
3. Observe waveforms across C ( Charging & discharging )
4. Now rotate ‘pot R’ on kit gradually and observe the change in waveform on CRO.
5. Also Observe waveforms (pulse) across primary of pulse transformer.
6. Now connect gate pulse to gate of SCR, connect J1 of bridge to J1 of SCR.
7. Connect a load of 220W or 330W, observe different waveforms across load by
varying‘pot R’ at different firing angles.
8. Also note down αmin & αmax
9. Sketch the waveforms across load & SCR at αmin & αmax
10. Tabulate the readings.
