A half-controlled single-phase bridge rectifier is supplying an $$R$$-$$L$$ load. It is operated at a firing angle $$α$$ and the load current is continuous. The fraction of cycle that the freewheeling diode conducts is

The fully controlled thyristor converter in the figure is fed from a single-phase source. When the firing angle is $${0^ \circ }$$, the $$dc$$ output voltage of the converter is $$300V.$$ What will be the output voltage for a firing angle of $${60^ \circ }$$, assuming continuous conduction?

A single phase full $$-$$ wave half $$-$$ controlled bridge converter feeds an inductive load. The two $$SCR's$$ in the converter are connected to a common $$DC$$ bus. The converter has to have a free wheeling diode

A single $$-$$ phase fully controlled thyristor bridge $$ac$$ $$-$$ $$dc$$ converter is operating at a firing angle of $${25^ \circ }$$ and an overlap angle of $${10^ \circ }$$ constant $$dc$$ output current of $$20$$ $$A$$. The fundamental power factor (displacement factor) at input $$ac$$ mains is
