Power Electronics and Drives

  1. The figure shows the circuit diagram of a rectifier. The load consists of a resistance 10 Ω and an inductance 0.05H connected in series. Assuming ideal thyristor and ideal diode, the thyristor firing angle (in degree) needed to obtain an average load voltage of 70V is ____________.
    1. 69.3
    2. 39.39
    3. 19.93
    4. None of the above
Correct Option: A


V0 = 70v; Load, R = 10Ω ; L = 0.05H
Firing angled = ?
The o/p volt of given converter is

V0 =
Vm
[1 + cosα]

70 =
525
[1 + cosα]

α = 69.3°
