Answer: A

The Vo(r.m.s) for the 3-Φ phase Half-wave uncontrolled rectifier is 3Vml÷2π. The value of output voltage is

3Vml÷2π

= 3×√2×441÷6.28 = 297.25 V.   

 

66. Calculate the Vo(avg) for the 3-Φ phase Half-wave controlled rectifier if the supply value is 364 V and the value of firing angle is 2°.

A. 247.62 V
B. 245.76 V
C. 214.26 V
D. 233.26 V

Answer: B

The Vo(avg) for the 3-Φ phase Half-wave controlled rectifier is 3Vmlcos(α)÷2π.

The value of output voltage is 3Vmlcos(α)÷2π

= 3×√2×364×(.99)÷6.28 = 245.76 V.   

 

67. Calculate the value of the Input power factor for a 3-Φ Fully controlled rectifier if the firing angle value is 16°.

A. .96
B. .91
C. .93
D. .94

Answer: B

The value of the input power factor for a 3-Φ Fully controlled rectifier is .95cos(16°) = .91. The input power factor is a product of the distortion factor and displacement factor.   

 

68. In a 3-Φ semi-controlled rectifier calculate the average value of the voltage if the supply is 299 V and the firing angle is 56.15°.

A. 311.26 V
B. 304.26 V
C. 314.51 V
D. 312.45 V

Answer: C

In 3-Φ Semi-controlled rectifier, the average value of the voltage is

3Vml(1+cos(∝))÷2π

= 3×299×√2(1+cos(56.15°))÷6.28 = 314.51 V.   

 

69. Calculate the circuit turn-off time for 3-Φ Fully controlled rectifier if the firing angle is 13° and the supply frequency is 49.5 Hz.

A. 730.2 msec
B. 740.8 msec
C. 754.5 msec
D. 755.1 msec

Answer: A

The circuit turn-off time for 3-Φ Fully controlled rectifier is (240°-α)÷ω. The value of circuit turn-off time for ∝ < 60° is

(240°-13°)÷6.28×49.5 = 730.2 msec.   

 

70. Calculate the circuit turn-off time for 3-Φ Fully controlled rectifier if the firing angle is 170° and the supply frequency is 50.5 Hz.

A. 32.4 msec
B. 35.2 msec
C. 39.3 msec
D. 31.5 msec

Answer: D

The circuit turn-off time for 3-Φ Fully controlled rectifier is (180°-α)÷Ω. The value of circuit turn-off time for ∝ ≥ 60° is

(180°-170°)÷6.28×50.5 = 31.5 msec.
