In a circuit using a full wave converter (M - 2 connection) the PIV of each thyristor is 400 V. For the same output voltage and fully controlled bridge converter, PIV will be
-
A dc separately excited motor has constant field current. The armature is fed from a single phase supply through a full converter. When a = 0, speed is 500 rpm. If a = 45°, the speed is likely to be
-
The terminals of a power MOSFET are called
-
Assertion (A): The surge current which an SCR can withstand is much higher than rms on state current.
Reason (R): The duration of surge current is very small.
-
A single phase half wave controlled rectifier circuit has a free wheeling diode. The load is a combination of R and L. The firing angle is a. The period of conduction of SCR and free wheeling diode respectively are
-
Assertion (A): A transistor requires a continuous base signal for conduction but a thyristor requires a gate pulse.
Reason (R): Transistor find widespread application in power electronic circuits.
-
In a thyristor the gate current is increased, then
-
A single phase half wave rectifier is feeding a resistive load. Input voltage v = Vm sin ωt. The output dc voltage is Vdc and output rms voltage is Vrms . If firing angle is 180°, Vdc and Vrms respectively are
