Peak of inductor current occurs at
In the following circuit, the average voltage
where is the firing angle. If the power dissipated in the resistor is 64 W, then the closest value of in degrees is
Average output Voltage,

A single-phase half-controlled bridge converter supplies an inductive load with ripple free load current. The triggering angle of the converter is . The ratio of the rms value of the fundamental component of the input current to the rms value of the total input current of the bridge is ________ (rounded off to 3 decimal places).
semi-converter is given by,
A single-phase full-controlled thyristor converter bridge is used for regenerative braking of a separately excited DC motor with the following specifications:
Assume that the motor is running at 600rpm and the armature terminals of the motor are suitably reversed for regenerative braking. If the armature current of the motor is to be maintained at the rated value, the triggering angle of the converter bridge in degrees should be ________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
At rated condition,
Now,
For regenerative braking the converter operates in Inverting Mode so we have to show emf with reversed polarity
The single phase rectifier consisting of three thyristors and a diode feed power to a constant current load. and are fired at α=60° and is fired at α=240° . The reference for is the positive zero crossing of . The average voltage across the load in volts is ________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).
Since the load carries constant current one device out of T1 & D1 must always be conducting & one out of T2 T3 most always be conducting
T1 : α to π i.e. 60° to 180°
D1: π to 2π + α i.e. 180° to 360° & 0° to 60°
T2: π + α to 2π + α i.e. 240° to 240°
T3: α to π + α i.e. 60° to 240°
∴ Output voltage is
0 to 60° : D1 & T2 : ON V0 = -Vs
60° to 180° : T1 & T3 : ON V0 = Vs
180° to 240° : T3 & D1 : ON V0 = 0
240° to 360° : T2 & D1 : ON V0 = -Vs
