Question Paper

Draw the volt-ampere, characteristic of SCR and explain its working.

Explain how a transistor can be used as a switching element. Also compare transistor and SCR as switching elements.

Draw the circuit diagram of a circulating type dual converter using midpoint configuration.

Discuss the working of a three-phase semi-converter with the help of a neat diagram.

Explain the operation of a step-up chopper and derive an expression for its output voltage.

A chopper circuit is operating at a frequency of 2 kHz on a 460 V dc supply. If the load voltage is 350 calculate the conduction and blocking period of the SCR in each cycle.

Discuss the working of a single-phase series inverter. Also give its limitations.

Explain the working of a PWM inverter with the help of a neat diagram.

Explain how the speed of a slip ring induction motor can be controlled by using the ON-OFF control method.

Explain why the dual converter method is superior to the rest of the methods for the purpose of regenerative braking.

Explain how the speed of induction motor can be controlled.

Compare the features of Power MOSFET and Power Transistor. Also draw their symbols and characteristics.

7. Write short notes on any two of the following:

IGBT

Slip power recovery scheme of induction motor

Current commutated chopper
