A single - phase voltage source inverter is controlled in a single pulse - width modulated mode with a pulse width of $${150^0}$$ in each half cycle. Total harmonic distortion is defined as
$$THD = {{\sqrt {V_{rms}^2 - V_1^2} } \over {{V_1}}} \times 100,\,\,\,$$ Where $${{V_1}}$$ is the $$rms$$ value of the fundamental component of the voltage. The $$THD$$ of output $$ac$$ voltage waveform is
A
$$65.65\% $$
B
$$48.42\% $$
C
$$31.83\% $$
D
$$30.49\% $$

''Six $$MOSFETS$$ connected in a bridge configuration (having no other power device) MUST be operated as Voltage Source Inverter $$(VSI)''.$$ This statement is
A
True, because being majority carrier devices. $$MOSFETS$$ are voltage driven
B
True, because $$MOSFETs$$ have inherently anti - parallel diodes
C
False, because it can be operated both as Current Source Inverter $$(CSI)$$ or a $$VSI$$
D
False, because $$MOSFETs$$ can be operated as execellent constant current sources in the saturation region

A single phase full $$-$$ wave half $$-$$ controlled bridge converter feeds an inductive load. The two $$SCR's$$ in the converter are connected to a common $$DC$$ bus. The converter has to have a free wheeling diode
A
because the converter inherently does not provide for free - wheeling
B
because the converter does not provide for free - wheeling for high values of triggering angles
C
or else the free - wheeling action of the converter will cause shorting of the $$AC$$ triggering angles
D
or else if a gate pulse to one of the $$SCR$$s is missed, it will subsequently cause a high load current in the other $$SCR$$.
