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

$$AC$$ to $$DC$$ circulating current dual converters are operated with the following relationship between their triggering angles $$\left( {{\alpha _1}} \right.$$ and $$\left. {{\alpha _2}} \right).$$

A $$50$$ Hz alternator is rated $$500$$ $$MVA,$$ $$20$$ $$kV,$$ with $${X_d} = 1.0$$ per unit and $$X'{'_d} = 0.2$$ per unit. It supplies a purely resistive load of $$400$$ $$MW$$ at $$20$$ $$kV.$$ The load is connected directly across the generator terminals when a symmetrical fault occurs at the load terminals. The initial rms current in the generator in per units is
