Questions in Power Electronics


1. In Triacs which of the modes the sensitivity of gate is high.
2. Define the term pinch off voltage of MOSFET.
3. Under what conditions a single phase fully controlled converter gets operated as an Inverter.
4. State the principle of phase control in AC-DC converters.
5. Define the term duty cycle in DC-DC converters.
6. What is a DC chopper?
7. Define the term Inverter gain.
8. Differentiate between VSI and CSI.
9. Mention the different types of HVDC link.
10. List the parameters for controlling power in a transmission line.
11. Discuss the transfer, output and switching characteristics of power MOSFET.
12. Explain the switching performance of BJT with relevant waveforms indicating clearly the turn-on, turn-off times and their components. Also define the term SOA.
13. A two pulse single phase bridge converter is connected to RLE load.
Source voltage is 230 V, 50 Hz. Average load current of 10 Amps is continuous over the working range. For R = 0.4 Q and L = 2 mH compute. (i) Firing angle delay for E = 120 V. (ii) Firing angle delay for E = -120 V. Indicate which source is delivering power to load in parts (i) and (ii).
14. For a 1 phase AC voltage controller feeding a resistive load draw the waveforms of source voltage gating signals, output voltage, source and output current. Describe its working with reference to waveforms drawn.
