INTRODUCTION
AC voltage controller is a converter that controls the voltage, current and average power delivered to an ac load from ac source.
Electronic switches connect and disconnect the source and the load at regular interval.
Common control method:
Phase angle control
Integral cycle control
Tap changing control

APPLICATION
Some of the application for phase angle control includes:
The light-dimmer circuits
Speed control of induction motor
The input voltage is AC and the output is AC although it is not sinusoidal.

10. OUTPUT VOLTAGE VS DELAY ANGLE, α (R LOAD)

11. HARMONIC AMPLITUDE VS DELAY ANGLE, α (R LOAD)
Since the source and load current is non-sinusoidal, harmonic distortion is a
consideration when designing and applying AC voltage controllers.
Only odd harmonics exist in the line current because the waveform has half-wave symmetry.
Normalized harmonic content of the line currents vs α is shown in Fig
