Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 1

Consider the following statements associated with single phase full converters:
1. Mid-point converter configuration is used in case the terminals on dc side have to be grounded.
2. The transformer rating in mid-point converter is double the load rating.
3. SCRs are subjected to a peak inverse voltage of 2 Vm in single phase mid-point converter.
4. Bridge converter is preferred over mid-point converter.

Which of these statements are correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 1

In mid-point converter, each secondary should be able to supply the load power. Due to this reason, the transformer rating in mid-point converter is double the load rating. Thus, statement-2 is not correct.

Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 2

Assertion (A): The commutation overlap is more predominant is semiconverters than in full converters.
Reason (R): The commutation period in seconds, when outgoing and incoming SCRs are conducting, is known as the overlap period.

Detailed Solution for Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 2

The commutation overlap is more predominant in full converter than in semi converter. Hence, assertion is a false statement.

A dual converter using two full converters can give four quadrant operation as shown below.

Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 5

Consider the following statements:
1. In a full converter, direction of current cannot reverse.
2. Semi-converters are single quadrant converters.
3. A full converter can operate as a two-quadrant converter.
4. A full converter operates as a rectifier in first quadrant and as an inverter in the second quadrant.
5. In a full converter, direction of current cannot reverse but polarity of output voltage can be reversed.

Q. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 5

A full converter operates as a rectifier in first quadrant (both V0, I0 positive) from α = 0° to 90° and as an inverter (V0 positive but I0 negative) from α = 90° to 180° in the fourth quadrant as shown below.

Thus, statement-4 is not correct. Statements 1, 2,3 and 5 are correct.

• Only fully controlled circuits are capable of inversion and therefore regeneration, while half-controlled circuits are not. Thus, statement-1 is not correct.
• Statement-2 is correct.
• Bridge circuits require twice as many thyristors than half-wave circuits to carry the same current. Thus, statement-3 is not correct.
• Statement-4 is correct.

Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 12

The nature of load current, l.e., whether load is continuous or discontinuous in controlled rectifiers

Detailed Solution for Test: Phase Controlled Rectifiers- 2 - Question 12

The term continuous means that load current never ceases but continues to flow through SCR or their combination. The term discontinuous is applied to the condition when load current reaches zero during each half cycle before the next SCR in sequence is fired. In practice, the output current may become discontinuous at high values of firing angle or at low values of load current.
