Analysis and Design of Power Electronic Circuits using Orcad Getting started with PSpice To start with a PSpice project: Go to capture CIS Lite Edition Go to “File” menu. Select “New Project” option. Choose “analog or mixed A/D” option and specify the project name and its location and click Ok Once the step 3) is completed the following window appears. Choose “Create a blank project” option Create the circuit by placing all its parts using “Part” option from “Part” menu. In this way a complete electrical circuit can be formed. Points to remember When creating a new project , use Analog or Mixed A/D set-up option. Watch the file location / directory structure. Design and simulation of power electronic circuits Power Electronic Circuits can be classified as: DC-DC Converters AC-DC Converters (Rectifiers) DC-AC Converters (Inverters) AC-AC Converters Now design and simulation of each of these circuits will be discussed. AC-DC Converters (Rectifiers) AC-DC converters ( Rectifiers) can be classified as: Half wave rectifier Full wave rectifier These can further be classified depending upon the rectifying element being used . If using diode, are called uncontrolled rectifiers. Whereas if using thyristor, are called controlled rectifiers. Half Wave Uncontrolled Rectifier a) For Resistive Load Make the circuit in PSpice using steps mentioned earlier. Components used are: VSin (voltage source) DIN4002 (diode) R (Resistance) GND_SIGNAL/CAPSYM. Make the simulation profile using “New Simulation Profile” command from “PSpice” menu. Go to “Edit Simulation Profile” in “PSpice” menu, simulation settings window will open. Go to “Analysis” and set the simulation parameters as shown below. Run the simulation by using command “RUN” from “PSpice” menu. Get plots for IR1(resistance current), RMS value of IR1 and V1(input voltage) using “Add Trace” command from “Trace” menu Plot the resistance current and then use “Fouri
