A thyristorised three phase fully controlled converter feeds a $$dc$$ load that draws a constant current. Then the input $$ac$$ line current to the converter has

A step down chopper operates from a $$dc$$ voltage source $${V_s}$$ feeds a $$dc$$ motor armature with a back $$e.m.f$$ $$\,\,{E_b}.$$ From oscilloscope traces, it is found that the current increases for time $${t_r}$$ falls to zero over time $${t_f},$$ and remains zero for time $${t_0}$$ in every chopping cycle, then the average $$dc$$ voltage across the freewheeling diode is

A $$dc$$ motor with armature resistance $${R_a}$$ is fed from a step down chopper in the continuous mode, and operates at some known speed and known excitation current. The motor current rises from $${I_{\min }}\,\,$$ to $${I_{\max }}\,\,$$ in the $${T_{on}}$$ period Ton of the chopper; and drops from $${I_{\max }}\,\,$$ to $${I_{\min }}\,\,$$ in the $${T_{off}}$$ period Toff of the same circuit. Both the rise and fall of the current may be assumed to be approximately linear. What is the average power loss in the machine armature?

Triangular $$PWM$$ control, when applied to a $$BJT$$ based three phase voltage source inverter, introduces.
