The document is a lab manual for a power electronics course. It describes an experiment on a single-phase half-wave SCR rectifier circuit. The objective is to calculate the average output voltage, RMS output voltage, form factor, ripple factor, and rectification efficiency for different firing angles. The required apparatus includes components like an auto transformer, SCR module, triggering unit, meters, load, and oscilloscope. The procedure involves wiring the circuit as shown, varying the firing angle, and taking measurements to calculate the specified performance parameters.
