Question

A phase controlled single phase rectifier, supplied by an AC source feeds power to an RLE load as shown in the figure,



The rectified output voltage has an average value given by V0=2Vmπcosα, where Vm=252V and α is the firing angle. If the power delivered to the lossless battery is 1600W, then firing angle α (in degrees) is ______

Solution

The power delivered to the lossless battery is,
EbI0=1600

I0=160080=20A

The rectifier output voltage,
V0=Eb+I0R

3Vmπcosα=80+(20×2)

2×252πcosα=120

160.42cosα=120

Firing angle α=41.58o
