A single phase half wave controlled rectifier circuit has an R-L load. A freewheeling diode is also in the circuit. When freewheeling diode is conducting the SCR
is forward biased
is reverse biased
may be forward biased or reverse biased
forward biased initially but reverse biased afterwards
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Free wheeling diode is forward biased only when SCR is reverse biased.

17.

Assertion (A): An inverter does not require forced commutation

Reason (R): A series inverter is a forced commutation inverter.

Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
A is correct but R is wrong
A is wrong but R is correct
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Some inverters require forced commutation.

20.
In a single phase full wave converter (M - 2 connection), the rms transformer voltage is 300 V across each half of secondary. The PIV for each thyristor is
300 V
6002 V
Answer: Option
Explanation:

PIV is twice the peak voltage across each half of secondary.
