A 3-phase to single-phase cycloconverter employs a 6-pulse bridge circuit. This device is fed from 400 V, 50 Hz supply through a delta/star transformer whose per-phase turns ratio is 3/1. For an output frequency of 2 Hz, the load reactance is woL = 32. The load resistance is 4 . The commutation overlap and thyristor turn-off time limit the firing angle in the inversion mode to 165°. Compute (a) peak value of rms output voltage (b) rms output current and (c) output power.

QUESTION EIGHT
A 3-phase to single-phase cycloconverter employs a 6-pulse bridge circuit. This device is fed
from 400 V, 50 Hz supply through a delta/star transformer whose per-phase turns ratio is 3/1. For
an output frequency of 2 Hz, the load reactance is woL = 30. The load resistance is 4 02. The
commutation overlap and thyristor turn-off time limit the firing angle in the inversion mode to
165°. Compute (a) peak value of rms output voltage (b) rms output current and (c) output power.
