- 1. On load tap changer using thyristors can have a maximum of two taps.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: False
Explanation:
Any number of taps are possible.- 2. In a single phase full bridge converter (B - 2 connection), the input voltage is v = Vm sin ?t. The output dc voltage for resistive load
Options- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Discuss
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
SCRs conduct from a to p in each half cycle.- 3. A single phase electric heater uses phase controlled thyristors. The firing angle is 90°. The degree of heating is
Options- A. 25% of maximum
- B. 50% of maximum
- C. 75% of maximum
- D. none of the above Discuss
Correct Answer: 50% of maximum
Explanation:
Conduction occurs only during 50% of wave.- 4. Present day HVDC converters are all
Options- A. 3 pulse converters
- B. 6 pulse converters
- C. 12 pulse converters
- D. either 6 pulse or 12 converters Discuss
Correct Answer: 12 pulse converters
Explanation:
To reduce ripple 12 pulse converters are used.- 5. Assertion (A): A cycloconverter may be line commutated or forced commutated
Reason (R): A step up cycloconverter requires forced commutation.
Options- A. Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
- B. Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
- C. A is correct but R is wrong
- D. A is wrong but R is correct Discuss
Correct Answer: Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
- 6. A single phase full converter gives maximum and minimum output voltage at firing angles of
Options- A. 0 and 180° respectively
- B. 180° and 0° respectively
- C. 0 and 90° respectively
- D. 90° and 0° respectively Discuss
Correct Answer: 0 and 180° respectively
Explanation:
Output voltage is maximum if a = 0 and is minimum if a = 180°.- 7. A Shockley diode can be used
Options- A. in place of SCR
- B. as a trigger switch for SCR
- C. in place of UJT
- D. both in place of SCR and as a trigger switch for SCR Discuss
Correct Answer: as a trigger switch for SCR
Explanation:
It is a four layered PNPN device without a gate terminal. Its characteristics is similar to that of SCR with zero gate current. It is acting as a trigger switch for Thyristor.- 8. As regards single phase dual converter
Options- A. the change in operation from one quadrant to the other is faster in non-circulating current mode
- B. the change in operation from one quadrant to the other is faster in circulating current mode
- C. the time response to change in operation from one quadrant to other is the same in both the modes
- D. the time response to change in operation from one quadrant to the other may be faster in any of the two modes Discuss
Correct Answer: the change in operation from one quadrant to the other is faster in circulating current mode
- 9. In a parallel inverter
Options- A. the commutating capacitor C is across the primary of transformer and the load is across the secondary
- B. the commutating capacitor and load are connected across the secondary of transformer
- C. the commutating capacitor C and load are connected in series and the combination is across the secondary of transformer
- D. none of the above Discuss
Correct Answer: the commutating capacitor C is across the primary of transformer and the load is across the secondary
- 10. In a fully controlled bridge converter feeding a resistive load the waveshapes of output voltage and output current
Options- A. are always similar
- B. can never be similar
- C. may be similar or dissimilar
- D. are similar only if a = 0 Discuss
Correct Answer: are always similar
Explanation:
For resistive load output current is always proportional to output voltage.
