Questions and Answers

What describes a three-phase fully controlled rectifier with R load?

  • Provides zero output voltage under all load conditions.
  • Can convert AC to DC using silicon-controlled rectifiers. (correct)
  • Only allows current flow during positive half cycles.
  • Requires additional diodes for full-wave operation.

Which converter operates in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)?

  • Buck converter maintaining inductor current at zero.
  • Step-down converter with significant load variations.
  • Boost converter where the inductor never discharges fully. (correct)
  • Buck-boost converter that intermittently switches off.

What is a key characteristic of PWM with bipolar voltage switching?

  • Generates a single polarity output waveform.
  • Results in higher harmonic distortion compared to unipolar modulation.
  • Switching occurs only at the zero-crossing of the input signal.
