GRAPHS: (Use separate graph papers)

1. Draw graphs of supply voltage (Vs), Output Voltage (Vo) and Output Current (Io) with respect
to time for semi-controlled rectifier with R load for two different firing angles (angles considered
in Table-1a during the hardware implementation of the rectifier) in a Graph paper.
2. Attach the graphs of supply voltage (Vs), Output Voltage (Vo) and Output Current (Io) obtained
from MATLAB Simulink for the semi-controlled bridge rectifier, which is feeding a R-L load of
R=10 Ohm and L=100 mH while excited from a 230 V, 50 Hz single phase supply. [ The forward
biased voltage drops for all the switches should be 0.7 V, and the firing angle is 60 degree]
