1. Which one of the following loads is suitable for load commutation in a Single-phase Half-bridge inverter?
A. R-L load
B. R-L-C overdamped
C. R-L-C underdamped
D. L-load
Answer: C
R-L-C underdamped are leading power factor loads. They do not require any forced commutation technique. Anti-Parallel diodes help in the commutation process.
2. R-L-C overdamped loads are generally lagging power factor loads.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
R-L-C overdamped loads are generally lagging power factor loads. They require forced commutation. Anti-Parallel diodes do not help in the commutation process.
3. A step-down chopper has an input voltage of 40 V and output voltage of 20 V. Calculate the value of the duty cycle.
A. 0.5
B. 0.2
C. 0.3
D. 0.4
Answer: A
The output voltage of the step-down chopper is Vo = Vin×(D).
The value of the duty cycle is less than one which makes the Vo < Vin. The step-down chopper is used to step down the voltage.
The value of the duty cycle is 20÷40 = .5.
4. Calculate the De-rating factor if the string efficiency is 20 %.
A. .8
B. .4
C. .5
D. .6
Answer: A
The de-rating factor is used to measure the reliability of a string. The value of the De-rating factor is 1-(string efficiency) = 1-.2 = .8.
5. Calculate the string efficiency if the de-rating factor is .48.
A. 48 %
B. 52 %
C. 50 %
D. 60 %
Answer: B
The string efficiency is calculated for the series and parallel connection of SCRs. The value of string efficiency is
1 – (De-rating factor) = 1-.48 = 52 %.
6. 400 V rated 5 SCRs are connected in series. The operation voltage of the string is 500. Calculate the string efficiency.
A. 25 %
B. 40 %
C. 38 %
D. 35 %
Answer: A
The string efficiency can be calculated using the formula operation
voltage÷(Number of SCRs×Rated voltage)
= 500÷(400×5) = 25 %.
7. 100 V rated 3 SCRs are connected in series. The operation voltage of the string is 200. Calculate the De-rating factor.
A. .35
B. .33
C. .38
D. .18
Answer: B
The string efficiency can be calculated using the formula operation
voltage÷(Number of SCRs×Rated voltage)
= 200÷(100×3) = .66.
The De-rating factor value is 1-.66 = .33.
8. Gate triggering is more reliable.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Gate triggering is more reliable than any other triggering method. The risk of false triggering of SCR reduces in the case of gate triggering.
9. The range of turn-off time is _______
A. .51-3 μsec
B. 3-101 μsec
C. 9-400 μsec
D. 7-787 μsec
Answer: B
The range of turn-off time is 3-101 μsec. The time is very low as SCR takes a low time to turn off. Commutation time should be greater than circuit turn-off time to avoid false triggering.
10. The range of On-State voltage drop is _______
A. 1-1.6 V
B. 0-1 V
C. 1.6-2 V
D. 2.4-3 V
Answer: A
When SCR is in forwarding blocking mode it does not conduct. When the gate pulse is applied, it starts conducting. The On-state voltage drop is very low around 1-1.6 V.

sir..apka 1st ans wrong h..SCR unijunction kaha hota h..it has 3 junction j1,j2 & j3.
and sir 2nd que bhi doubt me h..thyrister family me diac triac scr sb aate h na….

yes abhishek its unidirectional device corrected and SCR , LASCR, DIAC, TRIAC, SBS, ASCR. RCT, Gate all are the family of thyristor since SCR is most widely used thyristor, hence it is almost referred to as thyristor.

The output resistance of CE configuration is around 10 kilo-ohms. Some reference book termed it high and other moderate. It is better the distinguish between CC, CB, CE as low, medium, high

please provide solve test paper for all lesson with all subject of uppcl electrical je in both lenguage.
your content is very good.
thank you
Hello Sir, You are information share very nice. Very half full question.
sir please tell me about Q74
Ans is incorrect
it maybe
medium input resistance and high output resistance
please tell me its correct or not
