Correct Answer: Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
Explanation:
Since commutation circuit is not required, GTO circuit is compact.
3. 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
Vdc ? (1 + cos a). Maximum possible output voltage occurs when a = 0.
5. 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
