QUESTION 1 [20]

Figure Q1 below shows an input voltage of a single-phase full-wave uncontrolled rectifier with a
resistive load of R = 25 Ω.

Figure Q1
1.1 Sketch and label the circuit diagram of the rectifier. (3)
1.2 Determine the efficiency (η) of the rectifier (show all calculations). (10)

QUESTION 2 [10]

A single-phase half-bridge inverter in figure Q2 below must supply a 400 W resistive load with a
square-wave AC at Vo-rms = 230 V, 50 Hz.

Figure Q2
If the voltage drop across each conducting transistor is VT = 1.5 V, calculate the following parameters:

2.1 The input voltage (𝑉𝑠 ). (2)


2.2 The load resistance (𝑅). (2)
2.3 The rms current through each transistor (𝐼𝑇−𝑟𝑚𝑠 ). (4)
2.4 If the load is highly inductive, illustrate on the circuit diagram how free-wheeling diodes would be
connected. (2)

𝑉𝑠
2.1 − 1.5 = 230 ∴ 𝑉𝑠 = 231.5 × 2 = 463 𝑉 ✓✓
