(i) Silicon unilateral switch.
(ii) Triac.
(iii) GTO.
2. (a) What do you mean by commutation of SCR? What are the different methods of forced commutation? Explain class C commutation technique.
(b) Explain the working of PUT relaxation oscillator. What is the advantage of PUT relaxation oscillator over UJT relaxation oscillator?
3. (a) A single phase full wave diode bridge rectifier is supplied with 230V, AC supply. Resistive load of 60O is connected across output of rectifier. Calculate DC and RMS power consumed by load. Calculate peak current flowing through load.
(b) Discuss the effect of source inductance on the performance of a single phase fully controlled converter indicating clearly the conductance of various SCR during one cycle.
