A single phase semiconverter is feeding a highly inductive load. The circuit has a freewheeling diode across the load and firing angle is a. During one cycle of input voltage, the total duration of conduction of freewheeling diode is
a
2 a
4 a
0.5 a
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Freewheeling diode conducts for a° in each half cycle.

48.
During forward blocking state of SCR, the voltage and current respectively are
high and high
low and low
high and low
low and high
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Voltage is high but current is nearly zero.

49.
In a 3 phase full converter the average load current is 150 A. The average thyristor current is
150 A
75A
50 A
25 A
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Each thyristor conducts for one-third of one cycle.

50.
The two modes of operation of three phase bridge inverters are known as
60° mode and 120° mode
90° mode and 120° mode
120° mode and 180° mode
120° mode and 240° mode
Answer: Option
Explanation:

In 180° mode each thyristor conducts for 180° and in 120° mode each thyristor conducts for 120°.
