A half-wave, single-phase ac-to-dc converter is loaded by an impedance of l0 mH inductance in series with l0 ? resistance. The ac voltage is 110 v (rms). For ? equal to 30o and 90o , calculate the following:

a. Conduction period
b. Average current of the load
c. Average voltage of the load
d. Power


Solution:



a. Conduction Period:

From the voltage and the current waveforms for the load, the voltage and

the current waveforms for the load can be found:





b. and c. Average current and average voltage of the load:



d. Power delivered by the source = Power consumed by the resistor
