Example 10.6
A three-phase full-wave converter is operated from three phase
star connected 208 V, 60 Hz, supply and the load is R= 10 Ω. If it
is required to obtain an the average output voltage of 50% of the
maximum possible average output voltage , calculate : (a) the delay
angle α, (b) the rms and average output currents, (c) the average
and rms thyristor currents, (d) the rectification efficiency, (e) the
transformer utilization factor, and (f) the input power factor.
