Top Questions on Current
In the DC–DC converter shown in the figure, the current through the inductor is continuous. The switching frequency is \(500\,\text{Hz}\).
The output voltage \(V_o\) across the load is assumed to be constant and ripple-free.
The peak value of the inductor current (in amperes) is __________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
A single-phase full-controlled thyristor converter bridge is used for regenerative braking of a separately excited DC motor with the following specifications:
- Rated armature voltage = 210 V
- Rated armature current = 10 A
- Rated speed = 1200 rpm
- Armature resistance = 1 Ω
- Input to the converter bridge = 240 V at 50 Hz
Assume that the motor is running at 600 rpm and the armature terminals are suitably reversed for regenerative braking.
If the armature current of the motor is to be maintained at the rated value, the triggering angle of the converter bridge (in degrees) should be ____________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
