A three-phase fully controlled bridge converter is fed through star-delta transformer as shown in the figure.

The converter is operated at a firing angle of $${30^0}.$$ Assuming the load current $$\left( {{{\rm I}_0}} \right)$$ to be virtually constant at $$1$$ $$p.u.$$ and transformer to be an ideal one, the input phase current waveform is

A fully controlled converter bridge feeds a highly inductive load with ripple free load current. The input supply $$\left( {{V_s}} \right)$$ to the bridge is a sinusoidal source. Triggering angle of the bridge converter is $$\,\alpha = {30^0}.$$ The input power factor of the bridge is ____________.

The figure shows the circuit diagram of a rectifier. The load consists of a resistance $$10\,\Omega $$ and an inductance $$0.05$$ $$H$$ connected in series. Assuming ideal thyristor and ideal diode, the thyristor firing angle (in degree) needed to obtain an average load voltage of $$70$$ $$V$$ is _______________.

A solar energy installation utilize a three – phase bridge converter to feed energy into power system through a transformer of $$400V/400 V,$$ as shown below. The energy is collected in a bank of $$400$$ $$V$$ battery and is connected to converter through a large filter choke of resistance $$10\Omega $$.

The maximum current through the battery will be
