System Description<br />

3.6 Power Amplifiers<br />

The Power Amplifiers come in either a drawer-mounted version or a panel-mounted version. Both<br />

versions consist of two basic components: a firing circuit and a rectifier bridge.<br />

The firing circuit generates the firing pulses to control the SCR’s in the rectifier bridge. The demand<br />

signal to the trigger circuit is the summation of the DC control signals from the <strong>DGC</strong> and the Base<br />

Adjuster.<br />

The rectifier bridge uses SCRs to convert 3-phase AC into DC current. The SCR’s pass current<br />

flow in response to the gating pulses from the firing circuitry. The output current can be controlled<br />

from zero to maximum amps. An alarm is provided to alert the operator of a problem with the<br />

rectification process.<br />
