Power 2

The document contains 24 multiple choice questions about thyristors and controlled rectifiers. Some key points addressed are: 1. How SCRs control anode circuit voltage and current once conducting. 2. Factors that determine whether load current is continuous or discontinuous in controlled rectifiers. 3. Components used for dv/dt and di/dt protection of SCRs. 4. Operating principles of single phase and 3 phase converters, cycloconverters, and inverters. 5. Parameters that control output power in AC voltage controllers.
