  1. The fully controlled thyristor converter in the given figure is fed from a single-phase source. When the firing angle is 0°, the dc output voltage of the converter is 300 V. What will be the output voltage for a firing angle of 60°, assuming continuous conduction?

    1. 150 V
    2. 210 V
    3. 300 V
    4. 100 π V
Correct Option: A


For Fully Controlled Converter (FCC)

Average output voltage, V0 =
2 √2 V
cos α (V = rms)
π

For α = 0, V0 = 300
∴ 300 =
2 √2
.V
π

⇒ V =
300 π
2 √2

A α = 60 , V0 =
2 √2
300π
.cos 60
π2 √2

= 300 ×

= 150 V
