A three phase thyristor bridge rectifier is used in a $$HVDC$$ link. The firing angle $$\alpha $$ (as measured from the point of natural commutation) is constrained to lie between $${5^ \circ }$$ and $${30^ \circ }$$. If the $$dc$$ side current and $$ac$$ side voltage magnitude are constant, which of the following statements is true (neglect harmonics in the $$ac$$ side current and commutation overlap in your analysis)

A half-wave thyristor converter supplies a purely inductive load, as shown in figure. If the triggering angle of the thyristor is $${120^ \circ }$$, the extinction angle will be

A $$3$$-phsae, fully controlled, converter is feeding power into a $$d.c.$$ load at a constant current of $$150A.$$ The $$r.m.s$$ current through each thyristor of the converter is

When the firing angle $$\alpha $$ of a single phase, fully controlled rectifier feeding constant $$d.c.$$ current into a load is $${30^ \circ }$$ , the displacement power factor of the rectifier is
