- 1. A static induction thyristor
Options- A. is a majority carrier device
- B. is a minority carrier device
- C. either a majority carrier or minority carrier device
- D. has a total number of 2 leads Discuss
Correct Answer: is a minority carrier device
Explanation:
It can be turned on by positive gate pulse and turned off by negative gate pulse. It is minority carrier device. It can be manufactured in high current and high voltage ratings and its on state voltage drops is low.- 2. Induction heating systems require low frequency inverters.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: False
Explanation:
It uses high frequency inverter.- 3. The rated current of a thyristor is 40 A. The holding current will be about :
Options- A. 20 A
- B. 1 A
- C. 100 mA
- D. 10 mA Discuss
Correct Answer: 10 mA
Explanation:
The holding current is much less then 1% of rated current.- 4. A DIAC has two terminals, anode and cathode.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: False
Explanation:
They are designated as T1 and T2 because diac can conduct in both directions.- 5. 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
Options- A. a
- B. 2 a
- C. 4 a
- D. 0.5 a Discuss
Correct Answer: 2 a
Explanation:
Freewheeling diode conducts for a° in each half cycle.- 6. A thyristor is reverse biased. A positive gate pulse is applied. The thyristor
Options- A. will be turned on
- B. may or may not turn on
- C. will not turn on
- D. will turn on after sometime Discuss
Correct Answer: will not turn on
Explanation:
Thyristor can turn on only when it is forward biased.- 7. In a 3 phase full converter the average load current is 150 A. The average thyristor current is
Options- A. 150 A
- B. 75A
- C. 50 A
- D. 25 A Discuss
Correct Answer: 50 A
Explanation:
Each thyristor conducts for one-third of one cycle.- 8. The number of leads in a power semiconductor diode are
Options- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 4
- D. 2 or 3 Discuss
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
A diode has 2 leads irrespective of its rating.- 9. A dc chopper is feeding an RLE load. The maximum steady state ripple is
Options- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Discuss
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
(Imax - Imin)max =.
- 10. In a 3 phase full wave regulator feeding resistance load connected in star, the possible range of firing angle a is
Options- A. 0 ? a ? 180°
- B. 0 ? a ? 150°
- C. 0 ? a ? 120°
- D. 0 ? a ? 90° Discuss
Correct Answer: 0 ? a ? 150°
Explanation:
Since output voltage is zero if a ? 150°, the possible range of firing angles is 0 ? a ? 150°.
