Hi friends, here you can find some important questions for the subject Power Electronics. These questions will help you prepare better for your semester exams.

Short answer type questions.

  1. State the functions of latching and holding recurrent in thyristors
  2. Explain the di/dt and dv/dt feature of a thyristors
  3. How the voltage across the commutating capacitor in reversed in a commutating circut
  4. Explain basic single phase half wave controlled rectifier
  5. Explain why a separate free wheeling diode is not in case of single phase full wave half controlled rectifier.
  6. List the applications of parallel inverter?
