2. The power input to the charge in a half-ton, 960 Hz induction furnace having a 20 turns on the primary
winding is 325 kW. The cylindrical crucible has an internal diameter of 45 cm and the depth of the charge
in it is 50 cm. Determine the equivalent resistance of charge and the current in the primary winding whiuch is
required to counter balance the mmf due to secondary current.
3. Explain the operation of Cuk converter with neat circuit diagram. Also mark the direction of different current

4. A 3-phase full convertor charges a battery from a 3-phase supply of 230 V, 50 Hz. The battery emf is 200 V
and its internal resistance os 0.5 ohm. On account of inductance connected in series with the battery, charging
current is constant at 20 A. Compute the firing angle delay and the supply power factor.
5. A 440 V, 50 Hz, 6-pole, Y-connected wound rotor motor has the following parameters:
Rs=0.5 ohm, R'r = 0.4 ohm, Xs = X'r = 1.2 ohm. Stator to rotor resistance is 3.5. Motor is controlled by static
rotor resistance control. External resistance is chosen such that the breakdown torque is produced at standstill
for a duty ratio of zero. Calculate the value of external resistance. How duty ratio should be varied with speed so
that the motor accelerates at maximum torque.
6. Elucidate the operation of class E commutation by drawing neat schematic diagram. Also draw the required
waveform.
Section-C Marks : 10 Each
7. The single-phase half bridge thyristorized invertor has a resistive load of R = 2.4 ohm and the dc input total voltage
(total) is 48 V. Determine :
(a) The rms output value at the fundamental frequency V1
(b) The output power Po
(c) The average and peak current of each thyristor
(d) The peak reverse voltage of each thyristor
(e) The total harmonic distortion THD

(g) The harmonic factor and distortion of the lowest order harmonic.
8.(a) Elucidate different modulation techniques used for inverter control.
(b) Describe any one method to reduce harmonic content in the output of inverter with mathematical support.
9.(a) Enumerate various advantages of cycloconvertor. Draw the schematic diagrams of 3-phase to 1-phase using 6 thyristors and 3-phase to 3-phase.
(b) Derive the general output voltage equation of cycloconvertor.
