MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A single phase 240 V, 1 kW heater is connected across single phase 240 V, 50 Hz supply through an SCR. For firing angle delay of 90˚, calculate the power absorbed in the heater element.
For lagging power factor = (IR*cosφ + IXsinφ)/V_r For leading power factor = (IR*cosφ - IXsinφ)/V_r Zero voltage regulation occurs on leading power factor only.
