Question

A single-phase full-bridge diode rectifier feeds a resistive load of 50 Ω from a 200 V, 50 Hz single phase AC supply. If the diodes are ideal, then the active power, in watts, drawn by the load is ______. (round off to nearest integer)

Show Answer

Answer :

800 (Range : 795 to 805)
Given :
(i) 1-∅ full bridge rectifier.
(ii) Resistive load, R = 50Ω

(iii) Supply voltage, Vs (rms)  = 200 V
(iv) Frequency, f 50 Hz
Peak voltage, V m  Vs (rms)  × √2 = 200 √2 Volts
The active power drawn by the load in watts.

We know, average output power for the resistive load is given by,
P0(avg) = V20(avg)/ R

For 1-∅ full bridge diode rectifier, in case of resistive load,

V0(rms)=Vs(rms)= 200V

P0(avg) = 200 2/500 = 800 W

Hence, the correct answer is 800 W.
