Q2. If an SCR gate cathode characteristic is a straight line of 130 and allowable gate power dissipation of 0.7 W, then the gate voltage is ________.

Q3. A single-phase full-wave uncontrolled bridge rectifier is supplying a highly inductive load (L/R ratio is very large), the load current is assumed to be smooth and ripple –free. If the supply voltage is 230V, 50Hz, and the inductor load resistance R = 20 \(\Omega\), Calculate the average output current.

Q4. A thyristor has thermal resistance is 1.8 °C/W and the maximum allowable internal power dissipation is 50 W. If the ambient temperature is 40 °C, the maximum allowable Junction temperature is

Q5. An SCR is triggered at 30° in the positive half cycle only. The average anode current is 40 A. If the firing angle is changed to 80°, the average anode current is likely to be

Q6. A single-phase thyristor-bridge rectifier is fed from a 230V, 50 Hz, single-phase, AC mains. If it is delivering a constant DC current of 10 A, at firing angle of 30°, then value of the power factor at AC mains is
