Q82HardRectifiers & Converters

એક ત્રણ-ફેઝ ફુલ કન્વર્ટર અત્યંત પ્રેરક લોડને પોષે છે. ઇનપુટ 415 V (લાઇન-ટુ-લાઇન), 50 Hz છે. α = 60° માટે ચકાસો.
1. સરેરાશ આઉટપુટ વોલ્ટેજ 280 V છે.
2. મૂળભૂત વિસ્થાપન ગુણાંક 0.5 છે.
3. દરેક થાઇરિસ્ટર 6.67 ms સુધી વહન કરે છે.
કયાં વિધાનો સાચાં છે?

જવાબ અને પગલાવાર ઉકેલ
સાચો જવાબ: D. 1, 2 અને 3
ટૂંકી સમજૂતી

D — 1, 2 અને 3. Vdc ≈ 1.35×415×cos60° ≈ 280 V; વિસ્થાપન ગુણાંક = cos60° = 0.5; દરેક થાઇરિસ્ટર 120° વહન કરે છે = 20 ms/3 ≈ 6.67 ms.

વિગતવાર ઉકેલ (મૂળ ભાષામાં)

Statement-wise Verification

  • Statement 1 - Correct.
    The average output voltage is 280 V.
    Firing angle controls average DC voltage
  • Statement 2 - Correct.
    The fundamental displacement factor is 0.5.
    Displacement factor=cos60°=0.5.
  • Statement 3 - Correct.
    Each thyristor conducts for 6.67 ms.
    Each thyristor conducts 120°; at 50 Hz that is (120/360)×20 ms≈6.67 ms.

Core Concept

A fully controlled bridge feeding a highly inductive load operates with nearly continuous DC current. Firing angle controls average DC voltage; the AC-side current is non-sinusoidal and its fundamental is displaced approximately by α. In three-phase bridges each thyristor conducts for 120 electrical degrees under continuous current.

Formula / Key Relationship

1φ: Vdc=(2Vm/π)cosα≈0.9Vrms cosα; 3φ: Vdc≈1.35V_LL cosα.

Step-by-Step Check

Vdc≈1.35×415×cos60°≈280.1 V. Displacement factor=cos60°=0.5. Each thyristor conducts 120°; at 50 Hz that is (120/360)×20 ms≈6.67 ms.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 1. Option B is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 3. Option C is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 2.

Exam Shortcut / Approach

Large load inductance → nearly constant DC current.

Common Mistake

Distinguish displacement factor cosα from total power factor including distortion.

Quick Revision

Firing Angle and Thyristor Conduction is linked with Three-Phase Full Converter, Controlled Rectifiers and Power Electronics. Large load inductance → nearly constant DC current.
