ABSTRACT
A cycloconverter is a converter that obtains a lower
frequency alternating voltage wave from a fixed high frequency alternating
voltage form and this is done through some switching arrangements SCRS (Silicon
Control Rectifiers) or Thyristors. Cycloconverters are mainly used in VVVF
(Variable Voltage, Variable Frequency) AC drives which are used for running the
AC motors of cement and steel industry. Review of relevant literature was
carried out to ascertain the level of research that have been done in this
area. Here, the work focused on making a design of single phase to single
cycloconverter and a three phase to three phase cycloconverter with the help of
Matlab using Simulink Computer Software and also study the behaviour of the two
types of cycloconverters. From the results obtained, it could be shown that
variation of the firing angle ‘α’ leads the changes in the load voltages and
currents irrespective of the load type.
