1. A single phase full wave ac voltage controller working on ON-OFF control technique has supply
voltage of 230V, RMS 50Hz, load = 50. The controller is ON for 30 cycles and off for 40 cycles.
Calculate:
i)

ON & OFF time intervals.

[5]

ii)

RMS output voltage.

[5]

iii)

Input P.F.

[3]

iv)

Average thyristor current rating

[5]

v)

RMS thyristor currents.

2. The load resistance R, of the AC power supplies shown in Fig 1 is 2.5. The DC output voltage
Vs is 100V. The input inverter operates at a frequency of 20kHz with one pulse per half cycle.
The On state voltage drops of transistor switches and diodes are negligible. The turns ratio of

the transformer is = = 0.5. The output inverter operates with uniform PWM of four

pulses per half cycle. The width of each pulse is = 18o. Determine the load current.
Note: The ripple voltage on the output of the rectifier is negligible. Also neglect losses in the
transformer and the effect of the load on the resonant frequency is negligible.
