I am using 3524 as controller and IGBT with gate driven by TLP 250 , but I am facing the problem due to heating the electrolytic capacitors output as well as input using with bridge at 50 cycles only. Can you suggest the cause

You likely need to uses low ESR capacitors designed to handle the high frequency ripple currents of a switching regulator.
