Power Electronics and Drives

  1. A single-phase half wave uncontrolled converter circuit is shown in the figure given below. A 2– winding transformer is used at the input for isolation. Assuming the load current to be constant and v = Vm sin ωt, the current waveform through diode D2 will be



Correct Option: D

During 0 < ωt < π, Diode D1 is forward-biased and diode D2 sets reversed-biased.
During π < ωt < 2π , diode D1 is reversed-biased and diode D2 is forward-biased.
Thus, in π < ωt < 2π, diode D2 starts conduct, and in π < ωt < 2π , there is no current flows.
