Power Electronics problems
- 1. The symbol in figure is for
Options- A. DIAC
- B. P-N junction diode
- C. Schottky diode
- D. None of the above Discuss
Correct Answer: Schottky diode
- 2. When the core of a saturable reactor is saturated, the inductance is high.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: False
Explanation:
Since core is saturated, change of flux is small and inductance is low.
- 3. Assertion (A): When an SCR is conducting, the voltage drop across is about 1 V.
Reason (R): When an SCR is conducting, the junction temperature is about 200°C.
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: A is correct but R is wrong
Explanation:
Junction temperature is about 120°C. Hence R is wrong.
- 4. A single phase full wave regulator feeds R-L load. The best gating signal is
Options- A. short duration pulses
- B. long duration pulses
- C. pulse train
- D. either (a) or (b) Discuss
Correct Answer: pulse train
Explanation:
To ensure proper triggering pulse train in necessary because load is R - L.
- 5. A cycloconverter cannot give a frequency higher than input frequency.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: False
Explanation:
Step up cycloconverter can give a frequency higher than input frequency.
- 6. A 3 phase induction motor is fed by a 3 phase ac regulator to change the stator voltage. The variation in speed will be more if
Options- A. load torque is constant
- B. load torque increases with increase in speed
- C. load torque decreases with increase in speed
- D. either (a) or (b) Discuss
Correct Answer: load torque increases with increase in speed
Explanation:
If load torque is constant, the change in speed is very small.
- 7. 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
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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.
- 10. 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.
