Assignment 3, ELE4363 Power Electronics
Name: ID.:
1. An SCR is switched ON for 3 cycles then OFF for 7 cycles continuously, if the supply voltage is 230 V rms and the load is 30$\Omega$ pure resistive find the rms current and power delivered to load.

2. A single-phase ac voltage controller has a 230-V rms 50-Hz source. The load resistance is 30$\Omega$. Determine:
(a) the delay angle required to deliver 500 W to the load,
(b) the rms source current,
(c) the rms and average currents in the SCRs,
(d) the power factor.

3. For a single-phase voltage controller, the source is 230 V rms at 50 Hz, and the load is a series RL combination with R =30 $\Omega$ and L =50 mH. The delay angle $\alpha$ is 90°. Determine:
(a) an expression for load current for the first half-period,
(b) the rms load current,
(d) the average SCR current,
(c) the rms SCR current,
(e) the power delivered to the load,
(f) the power factor.
