Q1)

Q2) Many industrial processes employ ac motors. Consider a motor that draws a power of
10KVA, pf=0.866 lagging from a 50Hz, 1-phase pure sine wave supply at 220V.
a) Find the real and reactive power consumed by this motor.
b) Find an expression for the instantaneous power containing a DC component and a
single sinusoidal term

lagging
c) What is the total apparent power drawn from the system and the expression for
instantaneous phase current ia(t) if va(t) is taken with reference phase 0o.

Q3) Following circuit is designed to drive a high intensity lamp (small resistance) through a
thyristor with reverse recovery time tq=10μs. Vin is a square wave source 0V – 20V, 50Hz,
