Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 3

In three-phase three pulse converter the conduction can start only after 30°. As each SCR conducts from 120°, T2 would conduct on 30+120+n° = 150+n° and so on.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 4

A three-phase three pulse type controlled converter is constructed using 3 SCR devices. The circuit is supplying an R load with α < 30°. As such, each SCR device would conduct for

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 4

Each conduct for 120° per cycle is the firing angle is less than 30°. 120 x 3 = 360°.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 5

Find the expression for average output voltage at R for the below given configuration. Take firing angle as α = 15°, transformer ratio as 1:1:1 and Vmp as the maximum value of phase voltage at the supply.

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 5

The circuit is that of a three-pulse M-3 connection. The firing angle is less than 30°. Therefore, each device conducts for an angle of 120°.
Vo = 3 x [ 1/2π ∫ Vmp sin⁡ωt d(ωt) ] Where, the integration runs from α+π/6 to α+5π/6.
Vo = (3√3/2π) x Vmp x cosα.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 6

In the circuit shown below, SCR T1 conducts first. If T1 is fired at an angle of α > 30°, then T1 would conduct from

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 6

When firing angle is more than 30°, T1 would conduct from 30 + α to 180°. Irrespective of the firing angle, T1 will be turned on at 180° because it conducts first which means it is connected to the R phase and the phase sequence is R-Y-B. As R starts at 0° its value is 0 at 180° which reverse biases the SCR T1.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 7

 

Find the expression for average output voltage for the given circuit if firing angle is greater than 30°. Take Vmp = secondary side maximum value of phase voltage.

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 7

Vo = 3 x [ 1/2π ∫ Vmp sin⁡ωt d(ωt) ] Where, the integration runs from α+π/6 to π. Because conduction takes place from 30 + α to 180° for T1 and than the waveform is symmetrical for all other SCRs.
Vo = (3√3/2π) x Vmp x [1+cos(30+α)].

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 8

A three-phase three-pulse converter would operate as a line commutated inverter when

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 8

The output voltage is proportional to cosine of the firing angle α. If α goes above 90° then the output voltage is negative, meaning that it is operating as an inverter.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 9

A three-phase M-3 converter is operated from a 3-phase, 230 V, 50 Hz supply with load resistance R = 10 Ω. Find the value of firing angle if an average output voltage of 50% of the maximum possible output voltage is required.Hint: α > 30°.

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 9

We need , Vo = 0.5 Vom.
α>30° hence we use the equation Vo = (3√3/2π) x Vmp x [1+cos(30+α)] √3Vmp = Vml = √2×230
Therefore, Vo = (3/2π) x √3 Vml x [1+cos(30+α)] = 0.5Vom
(1/√3) x [1+cos(30+α)] = Vo x 2π/3Vml = Vo/Vom = 1/2
α = 67.7°.

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 10

Vo = (3√3/2π) x Vmp x cosα = 233.874 V.
Ia = Io/3 = 12 A.

 Three legs having two SCRs each, six in total.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 12

A three phase six pulse full converter works as a ac to dc converter for firing angles in the range

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 12

When α is less than 90°, the SCRs conduct for 120° and the current and voltage are positive on an average hence, the power flows from AC source to DC load.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 13

 For the below given circuit, α = 60°. T2 will start conduction at ωt = __________ Assume the inductor L value to be negligible.

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 13

Assuming the phase sequence is R-Y-B. T1 would start conducting at 30+60 = 90°, T2 at 90+210/2 = 150°. This is because after T1, T3 would conduct from the upper group, as T2 belongs to the lower group it will start to conduct exactly between T1 and T3 i.e. between 90 and 210(90+120) which is 150°.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 14

For a three phase full controlled converter, with 3 thyristors in the upper or positive group and 3 thyristors in the lower or negative group, at any given time

 Let’s say T1, T3 and T5 belong to the positive group and T2, T4 and T6 to the negative group. At any given time one SCR from each group conducts. e.g. T1 and T6 or T1 and T2.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 15

In case of a three phase full controlled converter with 6 SCRs, commutation occurs every

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 15

Every SCR conducts for 120°. This means that the SCRs from the positive group are fired 120° among themselves, same is true for SCRs from negative group. For example, if T1 starts conducting at 90° it will conduct till 90+120 = 210°. But while T1 is conducting, half of the time i.e. from 90 to 150, T6 is conducting and another half of the time T2 is conducting. Hence, commutation (change in the SCR which is conducting) takes place every 60 degrees irrespective of the firing angle. Construct the firing sequence table for better understanding.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 16

 For the below given circuit, the conduction sequence for the negative group of SCRs is

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 16

The negative group of SCRs has T2, T4 and T6. The conduct as T2-T4-T6, as T2 is connected to the B phase, T4 to the R phase and like-wise.

Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 17

For a three-phase full controlled converter with R load, the average value of output voltage is zero for

Detailed Solution for Test: Three Phase Converters - 1 - Question 17

For α = 90 degrees, the voltage waveform is equally symmetrical about the ωt axis, hence the average value is zero. This can also be found by using the formula for average output voltage,
Vo = (3Vml/π) cos α,
For α = 90°, cosα = 0, Vo = zero.
