Solid-State Switching Circuit MCQ [Free PDF] – Objective Question Answer for Solid-State Switching Circuit Quiz

51. Calculate the value of the fundamental displacement factor for 1-Φ Full wave bridge rectifier if the firing α = 17°.

A. .98
B. .19
C. .56
D. .95

Answer: D

The fundamental displacement factor is the cosine of angle difference between the fundamental voltage and fundamental current.

D.F = cos(∝) = cos(17°) = 0.95.   

 

52. Calculate the value of the fundamental displacement factor for a 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter if the firing angle value is 95o.

A. .60
B. .68
C. .62
D. .67

Answer: D

The fundamental displacement factor is the cosine of angle difference between the fundamental voltage and fundamental current. The fundamental displacement factor for 1-Φ Full-wave semi-converter is cos(∝÷2) = cos(47.5o) = .67.   

 

53. Which one of the following loads is suitable for lagging power factor load in a Single-phase Half-bridge inverter?

A. C load
B. R-L-C overdamped
C. R-L-C underdamped
D. L-C load

Answer: B

R-L-C overdamped loads are generally lagging power factor loads. They require forced commutation. Anti-Parallel diodes do not help in the commutation process.   

 

54. Which one of the following loads is suitable for the leading power factor load in a Single-phase Half-bridge inverter?

A. C load
B. R-L-C overdamped
C. R-L-C underdamped
D. L-C load

Answer: C

R-L-C underdamped are leading power factor loads. They do not require any forced commutation technique. Anti-Parallel diodes help in the commutation process.   

 

55. A step-down chopper has an input voltage of .1 V and output voltage of .01 V. Calculate the value of the duty cycle.

A. 0.1
B. 0.2
C. 0.3
D. 0.5

Answer: A

The output voltage of the step-down chopper is Vo = Vin×(D. The value of the duty cycle is less than one which makes the Vo < Vin. The step-down chopper is used to step down the voltage. The value of the duty cycle is .01÷.1 = .1.   

 

56. Calculate the De-rating factor if the string efficiency is 98%.

A. .04
B. .02
C. .05
D. .03

Answer: B

The de-rating factor is used to measure the reliability of a string. The value of the De-rating factor is 1-(string efficiency) = 1-.98 = .02.   

 

57. Calculate the string efficiency if the de-rating factor is .50.

A. 28 %
B. 42 %
C. 80 %
D. 50 %

Answer: D

The string efficiency is calculated for the series and parallel connection of SCRs. The value of string efficiency is 1-(De-rating factor) = 1-.50 = 50 %.   

 

58. 70 V rated 6 SCRs are connected in series. The operation voltage of the string is 130. Calculate the De-rating factor.

A. .70
B. .73
C. .78
D. .74

Answer: A

The string efficiency can be calculated using the formula operation voltage÷(Number of SCRs×Rated voltage)

= 130÷(70×6) = .30.

The De-rating factor value is 1-.30 = .70.   

 

59. d(v)÷d(t) is more reliable for SCR triggering.

A. True
B. False

Answer: B

Gate triggering is more reliable than any other triggering method. The risk of false triggering of SCR increases in the case of the d(v)÷d(t) triggering.   

 

60. Calculate the output voltage of the Buck converter if the supply voltage is 13 V and the duty cycle value is .16.

A. 2.08 V
B. 2.24 V
C. 2.58 V
D. 2.54 V

Answer: A

The output voltage of the buck converter is Vo  = Vin×(D. = 13×.16 = 2.08 V. The value of the duty cycle is less than one which makes the Vo < Vin. The buck converter is used to step down the voltage.
