Quiz #1
A single phase full-wave fully controlled rectifier bridge has an ac input source of
120 Vrms and feeds a 10 Ω resistive load. Determine:
a) The firing angle (α) to obtain an average output voltage of 75 V. (35%)
b) The RMS output voltage and current for the firing angle obtained in (a). (25%)
c) Design the thyristors (i.e. PIV, current rating, and peak current). (25%)
d) Now, what is the converter efficiency, if the thyristor voltage drop during
conduction, is 0.7V? (15%)
