16. Calculate the output frequency for the two-pulse converter if the supply frequency is 20 Hz.

A. 40 Hz
B. 20 Hz
C. 60 Hz
D. 90 Hz

Answer: A

The output of a two-pulse converter consists of two pulses in one cycle. The output frequency of the two pulse converters is

2×supply frequency=2×20=40 Hz. 

 

17. Calculate the pulse number if the supply frequency is 2π and the output frequency is π÷3.

A. 4
B. 2
C. 6
D. 8

Answer: C

The pulse number can be calculated using the ratio of input frequency to the output frequency.

The value of pulse number (P) is 2π÷π÷3=6. It is a six-pulse converter.
