A battery with a nominal voltage of 200-V with a resistance of 10 milliohms to be charged at a constant current of 20 amps from a 3-phase semi-converter with a 220-V (line-to-line) Y-connected 60 Hs supply. Determine: a. The firing angle of the thyristors for the charging process.
b. The displacement power factor and the supply power factor.

a)  ( ∝ ) = 69.6548

b) supply power factor = 0.6709

  displacement power factor = 0.8208

Explanation:

Given data:

Nominal voltage ( E ) = 200-V

resistance (r) = 10 milliohms

constant current ( I )  = 20 amps

Phase ; 3-phase

semi-converter  with 220-v ( line-to-line ) ,  220√2  ( phase voltage )

frequency ; 60 Hz

a) determine the firing angle of thyristors

Vo = E + I*r

    = 200 + 20*10*10^-3

    = 200.2 v

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

firing angle of thyristors for charging process ( ∝ ) = 69.6548

b) determine displacement power factor and supply power factor

attached below is the detailed solution

Displacement power factor ( Dpf ) = cos ( ∝ /2 ) = 0.8208

displacement power factor = g * Dpf

                                             = 0.81747 * 0.8208 = 0.6709

this is true
