Problem Set 2

The document outlines 9 problems involving calculations and waveform sketches for various 3-phase rectifier circuits operating under different conditions. The problems involve half-wave and full-wave controlled rectifiers, as well as half-controlled rectifiers, with resistive and inductive loads, and variations in supply voltage, load resistance, and delay angle. Parameters to be calculated for each circuit include average and RMS output voltage, current, thyristor current, output power, and sketches of relevant waveforms.
