TOTAL MARKS: 80
TOTAL TIME: 3 HOURS
(1) Question 1 is compulsory.
(2) Attempt any three from the remaining questions.
(3) Assume data if required.
(4) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
1 (a) Explain constant torque and constant power drive methods with relevant diagrams and waveforms.(5 marks) 1 (b) A single phase full converter is made to deliver a constant load cutrrent. For zero degree firing angle the overlap angel is 15o. Calculate the overlap angel when firing angel is 45o.(5 marks) 1 (c) Introducing motor speed control with constant supply voltage and reduced suppy frequency is rarely used in practice. Justify the stateent.(5 marks) 1 (d) List the merits and demerits of online UPS and offline UPS(5 marks) 2 (a) With neat circuit diagram explain the working of a load commutated chopper with relevant voltage and current waveforms. Show voltage variation across each pair of SCR?s as a function of time.(10 marks) 2 (b) Describe modified Mc-Murray Bedford method of half bridge inverter circuit with related voltage and current waveforms.(10 marks) 3 (a) Explain the neat diagram the working of parallel inverter employing feedback diodes. Draw the voltage and current waveforms. What care should be taken to avoid commutations failure?(10 marks) 3 (b) A 220V, 1500 RPM, 10A separately excited D.C motor has an armature resistance of 0.1 ? if it is fed from a single phase fully controlled bridge rectifier with an A.C source voltage of 230V, 50 Hz. Assuming continuous load current compute:
(i) firing angel for rated motor torque at 600 rmp.
(ii) firing angel for rated motor torque at (-500) rmp
(iii) motor speed for ? =150o and half rated torque
