Question
A two winding transformer is feeding a single phase half wave rectifier circuit. The load is purely resistive. The rms value of transformer secondary current is I_s and rms value of load current in I_rms. Then
Options
A. I_s = I_rms irrespective of the value of firing angle
B. I_s = 0.5 I_rms irrespective of the value of firing angle
C. I_s = I_rms if firing angle is less than 30�
D. I_s = I_rms if firing angle is more than 30�

Correct Answer

I_s = I_rms irrespective of the value of firing angle
