Attempt THREE questions.

1. (a) State and describe briefly the three main characteristics


of a diode.
(6)

(b) The single-phase bridge rectifier shown in Figure Q1(b)


is connected to a 120 V, 50 Hz source. If the load
resistance is 1.5 Ω, calculate the following;

i) the dc load current; (3)

ii) the PIV across the diodes; (2)

iii) the energy that must be stored so that the peak-peak


ripple is 5% of the dc current; (2)

iv) the inductance of the choke. (2)

Q1 continued over page.

(c) A diode having a PIV rating of 750 V is used in a battery
charger shown in Figure Q1(c). The battery voltage is 120
V and R = 15 Ω.

i) Sketch the voltage and current waveforms over one


cycle of the ac supply and calculate the maximum
rms secondary voltage of the transformer so that the
diode will not break down.
(5)
ii) For how many electrical degrees will the diode
conduct if the actual rms secondary voltage is 175 V
and in this case, what is the peak current in the
diode?

2. (a) Describe the burst-fire control technique for a.c. power
control circuits. Include a sketch of the waveforms and
state any advantages and disadvantages associated with
this technique.
(5)

(b) A 3-phase, 6-pulse, bridge rectifier circuit is supplied from


a 400 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz source. The load comprises a
220 V battery with an internal resistance of 1.8 Ω. If the
load draws a current of 150 A and the delay angle is 60°,
neglecting converter losses, calculate;

i) The dc output voltage of the rectifier; (2)


ii) The reactive power drawn from the supply; (2)
iii) The displacement power factor; and (1)
iv) The total power factor. (2)

(c) If the polarity of the battery in Q2(b) is reversed, the


converter acts as an inverter. If the converter is controlled
such that the battery then delivers 80 A to the converter,
calculate;

i) The dc voltage generated by the inverter; (3)


ii) The delay angle. (2)

(d) Sketch the characteristics of a MOSFET device connected


in common source mode. With reference to these
characteristics, discuss the operation of the power
MOSFET as a switch.

3. (a) With reference to the torque-speed characteristic of a
cage induction motor, describe how a machine can function
in the four quadrants. (4)

(b) A voltage-source inverter drive, shown in Figure Q.3, is


fed from a 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz supply. The machine
is a 45 kW, 8-pole, 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz cage induction
motor that has a power factor of 0.9 when it runs at full-
load at 720 r/min. Converter 2 is a 6-pulse inverter with
an efficiency of 96%.

Figure Q.3
Determine:

(i) the average current and voltage in the DC link; (4)

(ii) the firing angles of converters 1 and 2; (4)

(iii) the supply current and inverter firing-angle when


the motor is driven at 500 r/min, whilst maintaining
constant air-gap flux and the firing-angle of
converter 1 is adjusted to 52°. (8)

(c) With the aid of sketches, discuss how in a PWM drive,


variation in the number and width of pulses can be used to
produce an a.c. output with variable frequency and
magnitude. (5)

4. (a) An electric vehicle is driven by a 60 kW, 900 r/min, 400 V
series connected d.c. motor. The nominal full-load current
is 120 A and the total resistance of the motor is 0.5 . The
vehicle is fed from a 600 V d.c. line. A chopper controls
the motor and it has a fixed on-time of 500 s.

Calculate:

(i) The chopper frequency and the current drawn from


the line when the motor is at standstill and drawing
1.5 times full-load current. (6)

(ii) The chopper frequency and current drawn from the


line at rated output. (4)

(iii) The motor speed when delivering rated current, if


the chopper frequency is set at 1000 Hz. (6)

(b) From a conventional d.c. motor, develop the arrangement


of a brushless d.c. motor and describe its mode of operation. (9)
