Maximum voltage across SCR in single-phase mid-point converter is 2Vm. Therefore, this converter can be design for a maximum voltage of

∴ Maximum average power that the mid-point converter can handle is

Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers - 1 - Question 8

The main advantages of the dual converter with circulating current operation is/are
1. the efficiency and power factor are more.
2. it has faster operation than dual converter without circulating current.
3. the thyristors are rated for lower current.

Choose the correct code from the following

Detailed Solution for Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers - 1 - Question 8

Circulating current gives rise to more losses in the converters, hence the efficiency and power factor are low. Thus, statement-1 is false.
In a non-circulating current type dual converter, the normal delay period of 10 to 20 ms is required while no delay period is required in circulating current type dual converter. Therefore, circulating current type dual converter is faster than non-circulating type dual converter. Thus, statement-2 is true.
As the dual converter with circulating current has to handle load current as well as circulating currents, therefore the thyristors are rated for higher currents. Hence statement-3 is false.

Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers - 1 - Question 9

 The average value of voltage of a single-phase ac voltage converter with resistive load is (α is the firing angle).
