A Microprocessor-Based Synchronization Scheme for Digitally Controlled Three-Phase Thyristor Power Converters

This paper presents a microprocessor-based scheme that generates the necessary synchronization logical signals for three-phase static power converter control systems. The problem of detecting the phase-to-phase voltage zero-crossing in presence of noise generated by thyristor commutations in constant and in variable frequency supplies is discussed, and a microcomputer software solution is proposed.
