answer number 2

Transcribed Image Text:I. Problem Solving:
i. Solve the following problems. Solution is required.
ii.
Correct answer with no/incorrect solution will be considered INVALID.
iii.
Use exact values in your solutions. Final answers should be rounded off (at least) in
two-decimal places format. (*
1) An SCR has a circuit fusing rating of 90 A²s. The device is being used in a circuit
where it could be subjected to a 120 A surge. Determine the maximum allowable
duration of current surge.
2) An SCR half-wave rectifier has a forward breakdown voltage of 150 V when a gate
current of 1 mA flows in the gate terminal. If a sinusoidal voltage of 400 V peak is
applied, determine:
a. Firing delay angle (a).
b. The average output voltage.
c. The power output for a load resistor of 200-ohms.
3) Power of a 100W, 110 V lamp is to be varied by controlling the firing angle of an SCR
in a half-wave rectifier circuit supplied with 110 Vac. At firing angle a = 60°
a. What RMS voltage is measured in the lamp
b. What RMS current is measured in the lamp
4) Referring to Figure below: (Assume values of VBE = VCE(sat) = 0.7 for both device)
Given: Vin = 45 V, RA = 10 kn, RB + Rc = 10 kn
a. Assuming the Shockley diode reached its breakover voltage and now is in on-
state, determine the minimum resistance of the potentiometer (Rc) necessary to
turn on the SCR if it requires a 3mA triggering current.
b. Determine the gate current when the resistor Rc is adjusted to its maximum
value, assuming all devices are turned on.
