What are the remedes for them? 5. what are the perphera effects of power eectronc equpments? What are the remedes for them? 6. dscuss the advantages and dsadvantage of thyrstorsed power controers 7. Expan the contro characterstcs of the foowng semconductor devces 1) Thyrstor 2) Power B|T 3) MOSFET 4) IGBT 5) GTO 8. Gve the comparson between MOSFET and GTO 9. Draw the crcut symbo of IGBT. Compare ts advantages over MOSFET 10. draw the swtchng mode and swtchng waveforms of a power MOSFET, defne the varous swtchng appcatons 11. wth a crcut dagram and waveforms of base crcut votage, base current and coector current under saturaton for a power transstor, show the deay that occurs durng the turn-ON and turn - OFF. 12. Expan the terms Overdrve factor (ODF) and forced beta for a power transstor for swtchng appcatons? 13. expan the swtchng characterstcs of B|T 14. expan the steady and swtchng characterstcs of MOSFET 15. what s d/dt? Expan how the devces are protected aganst hgh d/dt and dv/dt. 16. what s soaton? Expan the need for soaton of gate and base drves 17. sketch the V-I characterstcs of SCR and mark there the dfferent terms that are appcabe. What do these terms mean? 18. expan the operaton of the thyrstor wth the hep of two- transstor anaogy. 19. dstngush between 20. atchng current and hodng current 21. converter grade and nverter grade thyrstors 22. thyrstor turn off and crcut turn off tme 23. peak repettve forward bockng votage
2 t ratng 24. Expan the turn on and turn of dynamc characterstcs of thyrstor 25. A strng of seres connected thyrstors s to wthstand a DC votage of 12 KV. The maxmum eakage current and recovery charge dfferences of a thyrstors are 12 mA and 120 C respectvey. A de-ratng factor of 20% s apped for the steady state and dynamc (transent) votage sharng of the thyrstors. If the maxmum steady sate votage s 1000V, determne 1) the steady votage sharng resstor R for each thyrstor. 2) the transent votage capactor C1 for each thryrstor 26. A SCR s to operate n a crcut where the suppy votage s 200 VDC. The dv/dt shoud be mted to 100 V/ s. Seres R and C are connected across the SCR for mtng dv/dt. The maxmum dscharge current from C nto the SCR, f and when t s turned ON s to be mted to 100 A. Usng an approxmate expresson, obtan the vaues of R and C. 27.
