Q1:

In a full wave converter (M - 2 connection) feeding an RLE load, the peak thyristor current is 15 A. For fully controlled bridge circuit and same load current, the peak thyristor current will be

A 30 A

B
152 A

C 15 A

D

ANS:C - 15 A

In both the connections the output voltage and peak thyristor current are the same. Both are full wave rectifiers.
