Problems:
1. A resistive load is supplied with variable voltage d.c. from a Triac full-wave rectifier
bridge combination connected to an a.c. supply. calculate the load power dissipation for
load resistance of 100ohms, a voltage supply of 110V at 50Hz, and firing angle delays of
(a) 45 degrees and (b) 135 degrees. Assume ideal switching devices.
2. A full-wave fully controlled thyristor a.c. to d.c. converter supplies power to (a) a
resistive load of 250 ohms, (b) a highly inductive load with a resistance of 250 ohms. The
a.c. supply is 240V, 50Hz. Determine the values of load average and rms voltage and
current, load power and converter power factor for (a) a = 30 degrees (b) a = 60 degrees.
Assume ideal switching devices.
