What is the difference between current and voltage commutation?

Voltage commutation: This is possible in ac circuits...The thyristor gets turned off by reverse bias (negative half cycle) voltage applied across it. This is also called line commutation. Current Commutation: This is possible in dc circuits ...This type of commutation makes use of auxiliary circuit which contains inductor,capacitor,diode and even a thyristor(auxiliary). This is called Forced commutation.

What is commutation angle of thyristor?

The commutation angle of a thyristor refers to the specific point in time during the AC cycle when the thyristor is turned off, allowing it to stop conducting current. This angle is crucial in controlling the phase of the output voltage in phase-controlled circuits, such as in rectifiers and inverter applications. The commutation angle is typically measured in degrees and influences the performance and efficiency of the circuit. Proper management of this angle helps in optimizing the operation of thyristor-based systems.


What are the two general types of commutation?

The two general types of commutation are commutation by substitution and commutation by remission. Commutation by substitution involves replacing a harsher penalty with a lesser one, such as changing a death sentence to life imprisonment. Commutation by remission refers to the reduction of the duration of a sentence, leading to an earlier release from incarceration. Both types aim to provide a form of clemency and reflect the authority's discretion in the justice system.
