Ac voltage controllers ac line voltage controllers are employed to vary the rms value of the alternating voltage applied to a load circuit by introducing thyristors between the load and a constant voltage ac source the rms value of alternating voltage applied to a load circuit is controlled by controlling the triggering angle of the thyristors in the ac voltage controller circuits.
Ac voltage controller applications.
Speed control of induction motors single phase and poly phase ac induction motor control.
The ac voltage controller circuit consists of scrs as switching device in some applications triac is used instead of antiparallel scrs.

During positive half cycle thyristor t1 is forward bias and during thyristor t2 is forward bias.
Normally circuit takes mains supply as the input and provides variable ac to the load.
Phase control means that the phase relationship between the start of load current and supply voltage is controlled by varying the firing angle of thyristor used in the circuit of ac voltage controller.
Ac voltage controller is a phase controlled device and hence no force commutation circuitry is required.
