POWER ELECTRONICS (EE-371)
Question 1 (CLO3, 5) [Marks 15+10]
(a) Design a single phase full-wave ac voltage controller with common cathode to supply an
output power of 1000W to a resistive load of 25 from an ac input voltage source of 220 V
(RMS). Specify the firing angle 𝛼 of thyristors, peak, average and RMS thyristor currents.
Also determine the RMS output voltage ad input power factor.
(b) Simulate the single-phase full-wave ac voltage controller designed in Q1a using PSpice
software and validate the accuracy of your design. Attach the simulated waveforms with
your assignment solution.
Question 2 (CLO3, 5) [Marks 15+10]
(a) Design a push-pull inverter to supply an output voltage of 220Vrms to an RL load with 𝑅 =
15 Ω and 𝐿 = 45 mH. The dc input voltage to the inverter is 36-V. Specify transformer turn
ratio, VA rating of transformer, voltage and current (rms and peak) rating of power
switches/transistors. Also determine the followings for the designed inverter
(i) The rms load current at fundamental frequency 𝐼𝑜1 .
(ii) The THD of load current.
(iii) The power absorbed by the load 𝑃0 and fundamental power 𝑃01 .
(iv) The average current of dc supply 𝐼𝑆 .
(b) Simulate the push-pull inverter designed in Q2a using PSpice software and validate the
accuracy of your design. Attach the simulated waveforms with your assignment solution.
Question 3 (CLO3, 5) [Marks 15+10]
(a) Design a full-wave inverter with duty cycle control to supply an output voltage of 220Vrms
to an RL load with 𝑅 = 45 Ω and 𝐿 = 25 mH. The inverter operates with a duty cycle of
2/3. Specify the value of input dc voltage, the voltage and current rating of power
transistors. Also determine the followings for the designed inverter
(i) The frequencies and the rms values of the two lowest-order harmonics in the ac
output voltage.
(ii) The total harmonic distortion of the output voltage waveform.
(b) Simulate the single-phase full-bridge inverter designed in Q3a using PSpice software and
validate the accuracy of your design. Attach the simulated waveforms with your assignment
solution.
Question 4 (CLO3, 5) - Complex Engineering Problem [Marks 15+10]
(a) Design a power supply system to provide dc current in range of 7 to 11A to a load
equipment having internal resistance of 15.2. The available ac sources are: 3-phase 380V,
60Hz and 1-phase 220V, 60 Hz. As per design requirement the maximum variation in load
current should not be more than 2 A.
(b) Simulate the power supply system designed in Q4a using PSpice software and validate the
accuracy of your design. Attach the simulated waveforms with your assignment solution.
