Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?

excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.


What is firing angle in thyristors?

A sinusoidal AC waveform is divided up into 360 degrees, with the positive half and the negative half of the waveform combined into a kind of circle. The firing angle simply refers to the point on the waveform, as measured in degrees (thus 'angle') which the thyristor is triggered into conduction. Answer2: Firing angle is the phase angle of the voltage at which the scr turns on. There are two ways of turning an scr on..one is by applying a gate current or by applying a voltage across the scr until it becomes greater than the breakover voltage.... Answer3: Thyristor need gate current and voltage to make it conduct. The firing angle is the sinusoidal increasing voltage. As it rises a voltage is reached with enough power to fire to trigger the gate. That voltage is the angle considering that a sinusoidal is 360 degrees per cycle.


What is a sinusoidal AC waveform?

Its actually a sine function graph. It illustrates the variation of voltage and current with time. Yeah voltage varies every second in your house, only reason you cant detect it is the high frequency( >60 hz) at which they are transmitted.


1 If the voltage applied across a capacitance is triangular in waveform then the waveform of the current is?

What is maximum current?

If you are referring to an a.c. current, then the maximum current is the amplitude of its waveform. For a sinusoidal waveform, the amplitude of an a.c. current is its root-mean-square value, divided by 0.707. For example, an a.c current with an rms value of, say, 10 A will have an amplitude of 14.14 A,

What are the attributes of a sinusoidal waveform?

Amplitude, frequency/period and phase.


What is RMS value of an AC Sinusoidal Waveform and the power they carry?

Hi, RMS is voltage X .707 and the power is voltage X current. Hope that helps, Cubby


What is the waveform of AC through a straight wire?

Either sinusoidal, or can always be represented as a sum of sinusoids.


What is the wave form of clipping circuit?

As a sinusoidal signal is clipped the waveform approaches a square wave.


Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?

excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.


What is sinusoid?

What is a sinusoidal wave? This is a wave that appears to have curves. AC current/voltage. If you see a wave on a ossiloscope of what our AC (Alternating current) mains voltage that will be the answer to the question. DC (direct current) does not appear to have the same qualitys


Will transformer heating the same for resisitve inductive and capacitive loads of same va rating?

Yes, transformer losses will be the same for any linear load with the same VA. However, if the load is nonlinear, such as a rectifier, the load waveform will be distorted and the losses will be higher than with an undistorted sinusoidal load current of the same VA

Why is the peak amplitude of voltage load lower than the amplitude of voltage transformer?

Unless otherwise stated, the value of an a.c. current or voltage is expressed in r.m.s. (root mean square) values which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 times their peak value. The output of a voltage (or potential) transformer is no different, its measured voltage will be its r.m.s value which is lower than its peak value.


What are the RMS values of current through half and full wave rectifier?

Both of them have the same value, ie, Im/2. Where Im is the max current through the load. NOTE: This data is for the sinusoidal input.
