Why we use buck converter instead of using linear regulator?

The three-phase half-wave converter shown in Figure is operated from a three-phase Y-connected 220-V. 60-Hz supply and a freewheeling diode is connected across the load. The load current with an average value of I, is continuous and the ripple content is negligible. If the delay angle alpha = alpha / 3, calculate (A) the displacement factor. and (B) the input power factor. टे Lond

For the buck-boost converter, determine the duty cycle, the switching frequency, and the inductor current ripple. The output voltage ripple is about 1%. vs 10 V, mH, C 0.5 micro.F, Vout=-20 V, R-IO Q

A buck-boost converter operates with an input battery. It converts +12 V to –12 V at apower level of about 75 W. the switching frequency is 120 kHz. The switches have200 ns switching time. The battery has an internal series resistance of 0.2  and seriesinductance of 200 nH. (a) What is the operating value of the duty ratio? What power is lost in the battery resistance? (b) Propose an interface structure to improve operation and decrease losses. What are the duty ratio and battery         resistance loss with your interface in place?

The three-phase full-wave converter shown below is used to rectify the three phase (Y-connection) source signals. The six Thyristor are triggered in the sequence shown. Sketch for firing angle (a=90°) the output voltage (Vo), the phase current, the current for any two Thyristor in any one leg, and the load current (Ia). Then calculate (a) Thyristor average and r.m.s current. (b) Supply average and r.m.s current. (c) The normalized average output voltage. (d) The maximum output voltage.

An RL load (R=0.2 Ohms, L=10 mH) is controlled by a converter. The supply voltage Vs is 600V and the chopper frequency is 200 Hz. The maximum peak to peak ripple current is equal to: Select one: a. 30A b. 55A c. 90A d. 75A

An ideal boost converter is required to have a constant output voltage of 12 V at 24 W load.The input voltage varies from 2.7 to 4.5 V (as in a battery cell). Select a switching frequency of100 kHz. The value of the inductance in the boost converter is 2.2 uH. Determine:(a) The range of duty cycle that the converter will operate with (hint: mode?), and(b) The minimum value of the output capacitance such that the pk-to-pk load voltage rippleis less than 2%.
