SECTION-B
11. Explain V?I transfer characteristics of IGBT with circuit diagram.
12. Explain thyristor switching characteristics.
13. Draw diagram of DC-DC boost converter and discuss its operation.
14. Explain with diagram operation of single-phase full-wave controlled converter and sketch
waveforms.
15. A step-down chopper circuit is supplied with power from an ideal voltage source of
terminal voltage 200 V. The load voltage waveform consists of rectangular pulses across a
1 k resistor of duration 1 ms in a cycle of 2.5 ms. Calculate the average value, rms value,
ripple factor and output power of the circuit.
SECTION-C
16. What is the need of thyristor commutation? Explain with diagram class B: resonant pulse
thyristor commutation technique with waveforms.
17. Describe a voltage commutated chopper with relevant current and voltage waveforms as a
function of time. The chopper operation may be divided into certain well-defined modes.
Enumerate the various simplifying assumption made. Show the effective on period for this
chopper is load dependent. Find also the minimum permissible on-period in terms of
commutating parameters.
18. Draw circuit diagram of single-phase bridge inverter. Explain its operation with input and
output voltage waveforms.
