Two semiconverters are connected in series to form a single phase series converter. The input v = Vm sin ωt and a1 = a2 are the firing angles of the two converters. If a1 = a2 = 0, the dc output voltage is
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Output voltage is for each.


29.

A single phase half wave converter is feeding a resistive load. Just before triggering, the voltage across thyristor is
zero
about 1 V
same as input voltage
twice the input voltage
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Before triggering the whole of applied voltage is across SCR and load current is zero.
