In a single phase asymmetrical half controlled rectifier with firing angle 'α' feeds a constant current load. What will be conduction angle of diodes?
- A. π + α
- B. π - α
- C. 2α
- D. 2π
Answer: A. π + α
Explanation: In a single-phase asymmetrical half-controlled converter feeding continuous load current, the diodes conduct for (π + α) radians per cycle.
