1. A single phase full bridge converter with a freewheeling diode feeds an inductive load. The load
resistance is 15.53 ohm and it has a large inductance providing constant and ripple free dc current.
The input to the converter is from an ideal 230 V, 50 Hz single phase source. For a firing angle of
60 degree, calculate the average value of diode current.
2. A three-phase full converter is supplied from a three-phase 230-V, 60-Hz supply. The load current
is continuous and has negligible ripple. If the average load current Idc = 150 A and the commutating
inductance Lc = 0.1 mH, determine the overlap angle when (a) α = 10°, (b) α = 30°, and (c) α = 60°.
3. The half-bridge inverter circuit shown in Fig. 1. has a load resistance of 10 Ω and an inductance
of 100 mH. The centre-tapped battery has 20 V per section. The inverter frequency is 100 Hz.
Determine the value of load current i(t) at, (a) 3 ms after Q1 switches ON and (b) 4ms after Q2
switches ON

4. In the full-bridge converter circuit of Fig.2, Vd=300 V, ma=0.8, mf =39, and the fundamental
frequency is 47 Hz. Calculate the rms values of fundamental-frequency voltage and some of the
dominant harmonics in voltage vo if a PWM bipolar voltage-switching is used.
5. The particulars of the shunt-compensated transmission line are V = 220 V, f = 60 Hz, X = 1 ohm,
and active power P = 55 KW. Find (a) the phase angle, (b) the line current I, and (c) the reactive
power supplied by shunt compensator.
