Abstract
Frequency drive is playing an important role for ever growing demand of industrial applications. Cycloconverter is one such device which generates variable frequency depending on the load. Semiconductor switching devices like Thyristor, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) make it possible to control the output frequency according to the requirement. Because of energy efficient characteristics, single phase induction motors are widely accepted in industrial sectors. To control the speed and electromagnetic torque of a motor for the particular frequency a Cycloconverter is used to increase the system frequency with a technique known as pulse width modulation (PWM) control. To drive varying mechanical loads for long duty cycle, machine needs to minimize the transients which can be made possible with PWM techniques. The output voltage can be accomplished without any external components and PWM will minimize the lower order harmonics by a filter which eliminate the higher order harmonics.
