A single-phase bridge converter is used to charge a battery of 200 V having an internal resistance of 0.2 Ω as shown in the figure given below. The SCRs are triggered by a constant dc signal. If SCR 2 gets open circuited, then what will be the average charging current?

- 23.8 A
- 15 A
- 11.9 A
- 3.54 A
Correct Option: A
Average current is given by,
| = | [2Vm cosθ - E(π - 2θ1)] | |
| 2πR |
| where , θ1 = sin-1 | ![]() | ![]() | |||
| Vm |
| = sin-1 | ![]() | ![]() | = 38° = 6.66 rad | ||
| 230 √2 |
| Then , Iavg = | ||
| 2π × 2 |
| Iavg = | [2 √2 × 230 cos38° - 200(π - 2 × 0.66)] = 11.9 | |
| 2π × 2 |
