D. 49.02 A

Answer: D

The r.m.s value of source current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io√π-α÷π. It is the r.m.s value of the source current.

I(r.m.s)  = Io√π-α÷π

= 51.2(√.916) = 49.02 A.

A. .58 A
B. .57 A
C..51 A
D..52 A

Answer: B

The r.m.s value of source current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io√π-α÷2π. It is the r.m.s value of the thyristor current.

I(r.m.s) = Io√π-α÷2π

= 2.2(√.069) = .57 A.   

 

24. Calculate the r.m.s value of diode current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter for the load (Highly inductive) current = 5.1 A and α = 115°. (Asymmetrical configuration)

A. 4.21 A

D. 4.52 A

Answer: B

The r.m.s value of diode current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io√π+α÷2π. It is the r.m.s value of the diode current.

I(r.m.s) = Io√π+α÷π)

= 5.1(√.819) = 4.61 A.   

 

25. Calculate the average value of thyristor current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter for the load (Highly inductive) current = 25.65 A and α = 18°. (Asymmetrical configuration)

A. 11.54 A
B. 12.15 A
C. 15.48 A
D. 14.52 A

Answer: A

The average value of thyristor current in a 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io(π-α÷2π). It is the average value of the thyristor current.

Iavg = Io(π-α÷2π)

= 25.65(.45) = 11.54 A.   

 

26. Calculate the average value of diode current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter for the load (Highly inductive) current = 75.2 A and α = 41°. (Asymmetrical configuration)

A. 46.16 A
B. 42.15 A
C. 41.78 A
D. 41.18 A

Answer: A

The average value of diode current in a 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io(π+α÷2π). It is the average value of the diode current.

Iavg = Io(π+α÷2π)

= 75.2(.61) = 46.16 A.   

 

27. Calculate the average value of diode current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter for the load (Highly inductive) current = 5.2 A and α = 11°. (F.D configuration)

A. .32 A
B. .31 A
C. .25 A
D. .27 A

Answer: B

The average value of diode current in a 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io(α÷π). It is the average value of the diode current.

Iavg = Io(α÷π)

= 5.2(.061) = .31 A.   

 

28. Calculate the r.m.s value of diode current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter for the load (Highly inductive) current = .2 A and α = 74°. (F.D configuration)

A. .154 A
B. .248 A
C. .128 A
D. .587 A

Answer: C

The r.m.s value of diode current in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is Io√(α÷π). It is the r.m.s value of the diode current.

Ir.m.s = Io√(α÷π)
= .2√(.41) = .128 A.   

 

29. Diodes in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter protect the thyristor from short-circuiting.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A

Diodes in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter protect the thyristor from short-circuiting. They provide the gap from (α, π+α) to avoid the conduction of one-leg thyristors.   

 

30. The problem of short-circuiting in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is very common.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A

The problem of short-circuiting in 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is very common. Diodes protect the thyristor from short-circuiting. They provide the gap from (α, π+α) to avoid the conduction of one leg thyristors.
