load of 9 Ohms. The firing angle of the Thyristor is /2. Determine the a) rectifier
efficiency b) form factor c) transformer utilization factor d) PIV of the SCR e) ripple
factor of the output voltage.

2) A 3-phase diode bridge rectifier charges a 240 v battery. Input voltage to rectifier is 3-
phase, 230 V, 50 Hz. Current limiting resistance in series with battery is 8 Ohms and
an inductor makes the load current almost ripple free. Determine a) power delivered
to battery and the load b) input displacement factor c) current distortion factor d) input
power factor e) input THD f) transformer rating.

3) For a half controlled single phase bridge circuit shown above, sketch the waveforms
of load voltage, load current, thyristors currents, freewheeling diode current and
source currents.

4) In the diode and LC network shown in figure below, the capacitor is initially charged
to voltage Vo with the upper plate positive. Switch S is closed at t=0. Derive
expressions for current through and voltage across C. Find the conduction time of the
diode, peak current through the diode and final steady state voltage across C in case vs
= 400 V, Vo = 100 V and L= 100 micro Henry, C = 30 micro Farads. Determine also
the voltage across diode after it stops conduction.

voltage drop, determine the current waveform, the mean load voltage and mean load
current for a load of a) a pure resistor of 10 Ohms b) an inductances of 0.1 H in series
with 10 Ohm resistor.

source inductance, calculate the average power supplied to the load a) if supply
voltage is sinusoidal with Vs = 120 V at 50 Hz. b) if supply voltage has the pulse

commutation angle if VLL = 208 v at 60 Hz and Ls = 2 mH and Io= 10 amps. If the
commutation voltages to be increasing linearly rather than sinusoidally, derive the
expression for the commutation angle , and compare the results with earlier one.
