AC Voltage Controllers-EC

1. This document contains four problems related to AC voltage controllers. The first problem involves calculating values for a single-phase full-wave controller supplying power to a variable resistive load. The second problem determines values for a single-phase full-wave controller supplying a resistive-inductive load. The third problem calculates values for a single-phase on-off controller supplying a resistive load. The fourth problem determines values for a single-phase unidirectional controller supplying a resistive load with a firing delay angle of π/2. The document requires calculating values such as voltages, currents, power, and ratings for the thyristors, diodes, and loads in each controller configuration.
