Power Electronics (BEE603)

Assignment-3
1) What are di/dt and dv/dt ratings of SCRs?
2) Explain the effect of source inductance on the operation of a 1-phase full converter.
3) Explain the function of feedback diodes used in antiparallel with transistors in inverters.
4) What is meant by PWM control in inverters?
5) Compare non-circulating current mode and circulating current mode of operation of Dual-
Converters.
6) Explain Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique.
7) Compare the following: a) VSI Vs CSI b) Parallel Inverter Vs Series Inverter
8) List the various commutation techniques used in SCR. Explain in detail any two
commutation techniques of SCR with a circuit diagram and corresponding waveforms.
9) A step-up chopper has an input voltage of 220 V and an output voltage of 660 V. If the
conducting time of the thyristor chopper is 100 μs, compute the pulse width of the output
voltage. In case the output voltage pulse width is halved for constant frequency operation,
find the average value of the new voltage.
10) What is the cycloconverter? Describe the basic working principle of it and classify
it, also enlist any two merits & two demerits of a cycloconverter.
11) Explain the working of the Buck-Boost converter with the help of neat diagrams.
12) A single-phase voltage controller has an input of 230 V and a load of 10 Ω resistive.
For 4 cycles on and 3 cycles off, determine the (a) RMS output voltage (b) input
power factor and (c) average and RMS thyristor currents.
13) Explain the operation of a 1-phase current source inverter. Also, describe the merits
& demerits of this inverter.
14) Explain the working of the step-down chopper with the help of neat diagrams.
15) A step-up chopper is used to feed a load at 400 V DC from a 250 V DC source. The inductor
current is continuous. If the off-time of the switch is 20 μs, then find the switching
frequency of the chopper in kHz.
16) Draw the waveforms for the Three-Phase half-wave (M-3) converter with R-load for firing
angle (α) < 30°. Also, derive an expression for the average output voltage.
17) Explain the Dual converter and derive the expression for the circulating current of a single-
phase dual converter in the circulating current mode. Also, comment on how a circulating
current-mode type dual converter is better than a non-circulating type?
18) With the help of a circuit diagram and relevant waveforms, explain the operation of a mid-
point type step-up cycloconverter.
19) With the help of a neat circuit diagram and associated waveforms, explain the operation of
a single-phase full-bridge voltage source inverter for a resistive load.
20) Explain the operation of the 3-phase inverter in 180° mode with the resistive star-connected
load.
21) Define the working principle of DC-to-DC Converter. Its operation under any one of the
following control strategy: a) Constant frequency control b) Variable frequency control
22) Explain the operation of the 3-phase inverter in 120° mode with the resistive star-connected
load.
23) Describe the operating principle of single-phase to single phase step-up cyclo-converter
with the help of bridge-type configurations. Illustrate your answer with appropriate circuit
and wave forms. The conduction of various thyristor must also be indicated on the wave
forms.
