About this course

You will be able to

  • Plot V-I characteristics of SCR and find its latching and holding current
  • Test R, RC and UJT triggering circuits for SCRs
  • Observe output waveforms of controlled rectifiers at different firing angles
  • Test a chopper and a single-phase inverter on a trainer kit
  • Use DIAC-TRIAC circuits for AC power control such as a fan regulator or lamp dimmer

Who it is for

  • Diploma engineering students of Semester 4 (BTEUP) - Electrical Engineering
  • Polytechnic students who need regular coaching, revision and practice for the BTEUP semester examination

What you need

  • Power Electronics theory running alongside
  • Practical file and graph sheets

Questions

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) syllabus of Power Electronics Lab (Semester 4). Where your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised syllabus, the centre follows your own syllabus.

Will it help in the semester examination?

Yes. Every unit is covered with solved examples, unit-wise MCQs and previous-year style questions for the BTEUP theory and practical exams.

Is the CRO used?

Yes. All waveforms are observed on a CRO / DSO and students learn to measure firing angle and voltage from the screen.
