Generation of High D.C and A.C Voltages

Date of Issue: 18/03/2019 Date of submission: 25/03/2019

Part-I Numericals

Ex. - 1 Determine the ripple voltage and regulation of a 10 stage Cockcroft-Walton type
dc voltage multiplier circuit having a stage capacitance = 0.01 µF, supply voltage =
100kV at a frequency of 400Hz and a load current = 10mA.

Ex. – 2 A voltage doubler circuit has C 1 = C2 = 0.015 µF and is supplied from a


voltage source of V= 100 sin 314 t kV. If the d.c. output current is to be 5 mA,
Calculate the output voltage and the ripple.

Ex. -3 A 250 kVA, 230V/250kV testing transformer has resistance and leakage reactance
of 1.5% and 6% respectively is to be used as a resonant transformer at 50Hz to test a
piece of cable at 500kV. Neglecting the dielectric loss of the cable, determine the series
inductance required if the load capacitance is 0.008 µF. What will be the input voltage
and power to be fed to the transformer if the inductor coil is assumed to have 2%
resistance based on the rating of the transformer?

Ex. - 4 A four-stage Cockcroft-Walton type dc voltage multiplier circuit with


capacitances all equal to 0.05 µF, is fed from 150kV. If 2mA of current is to be supplied
to the load by this circuit, determine (i) ripple (ii) the voltage drop and regulation if the
supply frequency is (i) 50Hz and (ii) 150Hz.
