Current Commutation :
An external pulse of current greater than load current passed in reverse direction through conducting SCR. When current pulse attains a value equal to load current ,net pulse through the device becomes zero.
The current pulse is initially generated by initially charged capacitor.
In this commutation a diode is connected in antiparallel with main SCR, so that the voltage drop across the diode reverse biases the main SCR.
As this voltage drop is of the order of 1 volt , the commutation time is more than the voltage commutation.
To start the operation of this chopper the capacitor must be initially charged with supply voltage.
By closing the switch S ⇛ through charging through charging resistance RC
Assumptions :
Load current constant
SCRs and Diodes are ideal
RC is large & treated as open circuit during commutation interval
Modes of operation is explained in video
