Abstract – This paper present integral cycle switching control for industrial power control. In this method
voltage control is achieved by connecting load to source for some – on cycle and then disconnecting some load
for off-cycle.Principle of operation and circuit description are presented in this paper. The result are simulated
using MATLAB SIMULING Integral Cycle control introduces less harmonica into the supply system
Key Words: Integral Cycle Control, Harmonics, Welding, high power factor, single phase induction motor,
Control Strategies, MATLAB Simulation and Heating Application.
1. INTRODUCTION
AC voltage controller is a power electronic circuit in which fixed ac is converted to variable ac without changing
the frequency. The converter circuit consists of SCR as switches and provides variable ac to the load.
Speed control of induction motor, Industrial heating and lighting, on load tap changing transformers, soft start
of induction motors, ac magnet controls, etc. The most commonly used power electronic circuit for controlling
the ac voltage is using two SCR’s connected in anti -parallel between source and load. The control strategy
depends upon the gate pulse given to the SCR’s [1].
We induction motor controller for reducing harmonics for controlling ATmega8 pin to provide fast and reliable
control operations. The controller also includes 28 digital input/output pins. This has wide applications in
manufacturing, light dimmer, induction motor speed controlling etc.
Vo = V [ͳ/ π {ȋπ – αȌ – ͳ/ ʹ sin ʹ α}] ͳ/ʹ
P F = Vo / V
where input supply voltage vȋtȌ = Vm sin ωt; Vm and V are maximum and rms values of the supply voltage and
α is the switching angle of the circuit.Where I is the fundamental value of the line or input supply current and Ii
are represents the harmonic current components of ). When α varies between 6Ͳ and ͳʹͲ, the supply voltage is
close to its Peak value (86.7% to 100%) and the corresponding voltage control range is from 44.2% to 89.7%.
At the switching instant ȋω t = αȌ, the line current jumps from zero to almost its peak value. Thus, di /dt is high
over a wide range of control. Moreover, there is heavy inrush current when furnace element R is heated from
cold. At a higher value of α, PF is also low and THD is significantly high [2].
