SCR Half Wave Rectifier: Sample Problem

1) A half-wave SCR rectifier with a firing angle of 30 degrees and peak voltage of 200V will produce an average output voltage of 59.25V and average current of 0.5925A for a load resistance of 100 ohms. 2) An SCR full-wave rectifier with a firing angle of 60 degrees and a peak voltage of 200V between the center tap and end of the secondary will produce an average output voltage of 95.5V and average current of 0.955A for a load resistance of 100 ohms. 3) An SCR full-wave rectifier circuit used to vary the power output of a 100W, 110V
