When the forward current becomes less than holding
current, SCR turns from forward conduction state to
forward blocking state.
2. What is latching current in SCR?
It is the minimum current required to latch(turn on) the
SCR from forward blocking state to forward conduction
state.
3. What are the different turn on methods of SCR?
Forward voltage triggering
Gate Triggering
dv/dt triggering
Temperature triggering
Light triggering
4. What is snubber circuit?
The snubber circuit is used for the dv/dt protection of the
SCR. It is a series combination of a resistor and a capacitor
in parallel with the SCR.
5. What is hard switching of the thyristor?
When gate current is several times higher than the
required gate current, the SCR is said to be hard fired. It
reduces the turn ON time and enhances the di/dt
capability.
6. What is firing angle?
The angle between the zero crossing of the input voltage
and the instant the SCR is fired is called as delay angle or
firing angle.

8. What are the main components used for isolating the
Power Circuits, Power Semiconductor from the low-power
circuit?
Opto-Couplers, Transformers
9. Name some of the current controlled (current driven)
devices
SCR, GTO, GTR
10. Name some of the voltage driven ( Voltage controlled)
devices
IGBT, MCT, IGCT, SIT
11. What is duty cycle?
It is the ratio of the ON time of the chopper to total time
period of the chopper.
D = Ton / [Ton + Toff]
12. Can fuses with an AC voltage rating be used in a DC
applications?
Fuses must be rated for the voltage AC or DC in which they
will be used.
Generally, fuses have a DC voltage rating that is half of the
maximum AC voltage rating.
13. What are the characteristics of ideal Opamp?
Infinite open loop voltage gain
Infinite input impedance
Zero output impedance
Infinite Bandwidth
Zero offset voltage
14. For High voltage applications will you prefer MOSFET
or IGBT?
For High voltage applications we have to use IGBT.
Because MOSFETs are low voltage devices. ie, Their

voltage rating is lesser than IGBT.
General rule is MOSFETs are suitable for applications
which has breakdown voltage less than 250V.
The IGBTs are suitable for applications which has
breakdown voltage upto 1000V.
15. For High frequency applications will you prefer
MOSFET or IGBT? Why?
For High frequency applications, MOSFET is the right
choice of the device.
Because MOSFET has low switching losses compare to that
of IGBT.
General rule of thumb is for low-frequency applications
having frequency range upto 20kHz, we have to use IGBT.
For high frequency applications having frequency range of
more than 200kHz, we have to use MOSFET.

16. What are the advantages of free wheeling diode in
rectifier circuit?
The input power factor is improved.
It prevents the output voltage from becoming negative.
The Load current waveform is improved.
[Q] What is meant by commutation?
The process of changing the direction of current flow in a
particular path of the circuit. It is used to turn off the SCR.
17. What are the types of commutation?
Natural commutation
Forced commutation
18. What is natural commutation?
The process of the current flowing through the thyristor

goes through a natural zero and enable the thyristor to
turn off is called as natural commutation.
19. What is forced commutation?
The process of the current flowing through the thyristor is
forced to become zero by external circuitry is called as
forced commutation.
20. What are the types of commutation with respect to
commutation process?
Voltage commutated chopper
Current commutated chopper
Load commutated chopper
21. What is meant by cyclo-converter?
It is also known as frequency changer. It converts input
power at one frequency to output power at another
frequency with one stage conversion.
22. What are the types of cyclo-converters?
Step up cyclo-converter
Step down cyclo-converter.
23. What is step down cyclo-converter?
It is the converter whose output frequency is less than the
input frequency.
24. What is step up cyclo-converter ?
It is the converter whose output frequency is more than the
input frequency.
25. What does the Voltmeter in AC mode show? Is it RMS
value or peak value?
Multimeter in AC mode shows RMS value of the voltage or
current. Also when it is DC mode it will show the RMS

value only.
26. What is the necessity to use the special machines?
General purpose motors (Induction motors, synchronous
motors) are neither precision speed nor precision position
motors. For many automated systems require high precise
speed and high precise positioning motors. In such cases
special purpose motors like stepper motors, PMDC motors
etc. are used.
27. What are the control strategies of chopper?
The control strategies of chopper are
1. Pulse width modulation PWM (Variable TON, Constant
frequency)
2. Frequency modulation (Constant TON or TOFF,
Variable frequency)
3. Current Limit Control (CLC)
28. What is delay angle or what is firing angle of phase
controlled rectifier?
The delay angle is the angle at which thyristors are
triggered after zero crossing.
After zero crossing of supply voltage, one pair of thyristors
is forward biased. ie, After delay angle() these SCRs are
triggered.
29. What is Universal Motor?
It is defined as a motor which can be operated either on DC
or single-phase AC supply at approximately the same speed
and output.
The universal motor is built exactly like a series DC motor.
But a series DC motor cannot be run as a universal motor,
even though both motors look the same internally and
externally.
We cannot use these motors in the industrial applications

due to the low efficiency (25% -35%).
It has high starting torque and a variable speed
characteristic. It runs at dangerously high-speed on no
load.
31. Give some examples of power electronics applications
in the day-to-day life?
We can list a huge number of power electronics
applications. Few of the applications which we can see in
our daily life are
UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply
SMPS Switch Mode Power Supply
Speed Control of Motors
ICU
32. What is meant by PMDC?
PMDC stands for Permanent Magnet DC Motor
A Permanent Magnet DC Motor is similar to an ordinary dc
shunt motor except that its field is provided by permanent
magnets instead of salient-pole wound field structure.
There are three types of permanent magnets used for such
motors namely;
(i) Alnico Magnets
(ii) Ceramic magnets
(iii) Rare-earth magnets
The major advantages are low noise, small size, highefficiency, low manufacturing cost.
