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 $$\alpha = {15^ \circ }$$

Two transposed $$3$$ phase lines run parallel to each other. The equation describing the voltage drop in both lines is given below. GATE EE 2002 Power System Analysis - Load Flow Studies Question 5 English

Compute the self and mutual zero sequence impedances of this system i.e, compute $${Z_{011}},\,\,{Z_{012}},\,\,{Z_{021}},\,\,{Z_{022}}\,\,\,$$ in the following equations.
$$\Delta {V_{01}} = {Z_{011}}\,{{\rm I}_{01}} + {Z_{012}}\,{{\rm I}_{02}}$$
$$\Delta {V_{02}} = {Z_{021}}\,{{\rm I}_{01}} + {Z_{022}}\,{{\rm I}_{02}}\,\,$$ where $$\,\Delta {V_{01}},$$
$$\Delta {V_{02}},\,{{\rm I}_{01}},\,{{\rm I}_{02}}\,\,$$ are the zero sequence voltage drops and currents for the two lines respectively.
