Detailed Solution for Test: Effect of Source Impedence on the Performance of Converters - Question 5

Concept:
The small inductance connected with supply work as a source inductance Due to this inductance, there will be overlapping takes place between two diodes. As a result, this will cause an overlap angle 'μ'.
During overlap period, both diode D1 & D2 will conduct.

Calculation:
The output voltage (V0) & current waveform is shown below,

Output voltage in terms of load current is given by,

For diode α = 0°,

⇒ V0 = 170.06 V
In terms of overlap angle,

Since, for an overlap angle of μ, all four diodes conduct & each diodes conducts for (180 + μ) degree.
So,
conduction angle (γ) = 180 + μ = 180 + 44.17
γ = 224.17°

A three-phase three pulse converter, fed from three-phase 400 V, 50Hz supply, has a load R = 2 Ω, E = 200 V, and large inductance so that load current is constant at 20A. If the source has an inductance of 2 mH, then the value of overlap angle for inverter operation is 

Detailed Solution for Test: Effect of Source Impedence on the Performance of Converters - Question 6

Concept:
Effect of source inductance: The presence of source inductance affects the rectifier output voltage
V0 = Vd0 cos α – ΔVd0  

μ is the overlap angle


Also, ΔVd0 = f Ls I0 (1 pulse)
= 4 f Ls I0 (2 pulse)
= 3 f Ls I0 (3 pulse)
= 6 f Ls I0 (6 pulse)

Calculation:
V0 = -E0 + I0 R
Vd0 cos α – 3 f Ls I0 = -200 + (20)(2)


On solving we get cos α = - 0.57
⇒ α = 124.76°
For three pulse converters:

On solving the above equation for overlap angle (μ) we get
cos (α + μ) = -0.6145
μ = 3.15°

Detailed Solution for Test: Effect of Source Impedence on the Performance of Converters - Question 8

Concept:
Source inductance effect of single-phase full-wave rectifier:
By considering the source inductance effect the average output voltage of a single-phase full-wave converter is given by


Where,
α = firing angle, ω = 2πf = angular frequency of supply
μ = overlap angle, I0 = load current
Inductive voltage regulation of single-phase full-wave rectifier is given by

Application:
From equation (1), we can observe that
As frequency (ω) of supply increases the cos (α + μ) term decreases. Hence the value of the overlap angle inceases.
Now from equation (2),
As value of overalp angle increases cosμ decreses. Hence the inductive volatge regulation increses.
