A $$1:1$$ pulse transformer $$(PT)$$ is used to trigger the $$SCR$$ in the adjacent figure. The $$SCR$$ is rated at $$1.5$$ $$kV$$, $$250$$ $$A$$ with $${{\rm I}_L} = 250\,mA,\,\,{{\rm I}_H} = 150\,mA,$$ and $${{\rm I}_{G\max }} = 150mA$$ with $${{\rm I}_L} = 250\,mA,$$ $${{\rm I}_{G\min }} = 100mA.$$ The $$SCR$$ is connected to an inductive load, where $$L$$ $$=150$$ $$mH$$ in series with a small resistance and the supply voltage is $$200$$ $$V$$ $$dc.$$ The forward drops of all transistors/diodes and gate $$-$$ cathode junction during $$ON$$ state are $$1.0V$$

The resistance $$R$$ should be

Consider a bundled conductor of an overhead line consisting of three identical sub-conductors placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in figure. If we neglect the charges on the other phase conductors and ground, and assume that spacing between sub-conductors is much larger than their radius, the maximum electric field intensity is experienced at GATE EE 2007 Power System Analysis - Parameters and Performance of Transmission Lines Question 8 English
