### GATE EE 2002

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
Reactive power absorbed by the rectifier is maximum when $$\alpha = {5^ \circ }$$
B
Reactive power absorbed by the rectifier is maximum when $$\alpha = {30^ \circ }$$
C
Reactive power absorbed by the rectifier is maximum when $$\alpha = {15^ \circ }$$
D
Reactive power absorbed by the rectifier is maximum when $$\alpha = {15^ \circ }$$
