In a 3 phase semiconverter, the dc output voltage for a certain firing angle is 50% of the maximum possible value. The firing angle is
Options
A. 30°
B. 60°
C. 90°
D. 120°
Correct Answer
90°
Explanation
Vdc ? (1 + cos a). Maximum possible output voltage occurs when a = 0.

1. A thyristor has internal power dissipation of 40W and is operated at an ambient temperature of 20°C. If thermal resistance is 1.6° C/W, the junction temperature is
current through inductance cannot change instantaneously.
4. A 3 phase induction motor is controlled by voltage and frequency control such that the ratio V/f is constant. At 50 Hz, the speed is 1440 rpm. At 25 Hz, the speed is likely to be
In this case synchronous speed at 50 Hz is 1500 rpm. Therefore synchronous speed at 25 Hz is 750 rpm. Since slip is about 3 - 5%, speed is about 720 rpm.
5. A thyristor has maximum allowable junction temperature of 110° C and the ambient temperature is 40°C, If the maximum internal power dissipation is 50 W, the thermal resistance is
6. A single phase half wave converter is used to charge a battery of 50 V. The thyristor is continuously fired by dc signal. Input voltage is v = Vm sin ?t. The thyristor will conduct
