Question 2: A 1-phase ac regulator is operated from a 240 V 60 Hz ac supply with RL load, and has an rms voltage of 120 V when operated with a firing angle of 120 ° Determine: (a) the load power factor angle ø1, thyristor conduction angle 0c, current extinction angle ß, maximum firing at which the regulator delivers 240 V to the load. (b) If the load inductance is 50 mH, determinate the load resistance and the maximum power that can be delivered to the load by the ac regulator.

Question 2: A 1-phase ac regulator is operated from a 240 V 60 Hz ac supply with RL load, and has an rms
voltage of 120 V when operated with a firing angle of 120 °. Determine:
(a) the load power factor angle ø1, thyristor conduction angle 0e, current extinction angle ß, maximum firing
at which the regulator delivers 240 V to the load.
(b) If the load inductance is 50 mH, determinate the load resistance and the maximum power that can be
delivered to the load by the ac regulator.
