A single $$-$$ phase half wave uncontrolled converter circuit is shown in figure. A $$2$$ -winding transformer is used at the input for isolation. Assuming the load current to be constant and $${V_{in}} = {V_m}$$ $$\,\sin \omega t,$$ the current waveform through diode $${D_2}$$ will be

A voltage commutation circuit is shown in figure. If the turn off time of the $$SCR$$$$s$$ is $$50$$ $$\mu \sec $$ and as safety margin of $$2$$ is considered, what will be the approximate minimum value of capacitor required for proper commutation?

An $$SCR$$ having a turn ON time of $$5\,\,\mu \,\,\sec $$, latching current of $$50$$ $$mA$$ and holding current of $$40$$ $$mA$$ is triggered by a short duration pulse and is used in the circuit shown in figure The minimum pulse width required To turn the $$SCR$$ ON will be

A solar cell of $$350V$$ is feeding power to an $$ac$$ supply of $$440$$ $$V,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz$$ through a $$3$$- phase fully controlled briodge converter. A large inductance is connected in the $$dc$$ circuit to maintain the $$dc$$ current at $$20A.$$ If the solar cell resistance of $$0.5\Omega ,$$ then each thryristor will be reverse biased for a period of
