You are an electrician working on an overhead crane. The crane uses a large electromagnet to pick up large metal pipes. The magnet must have a minimum of 200 VDC to operate properly. The crane has an AC source of 240 V. You are given four diodes that have a peak voltage rating of 400 V each. These diodes are to be used to form a bridge rectifier to convert the AC voltage into DC voltage. Is the voltage rating of the diodes sufficient? To the nearest volt, what will be the DC output voltage of the bridge rectifier?

The zener diode dissipates most power when the output current is zero, that is when no load is connected to the power supply. In order to prove the veracity or otherwise of this statement by designing a simple power supply with an input voltage of 13 V, and capable of delivering up to 1 A, with an output voltage of 10V. You are to sketch the circuit and calculate the value of the limiting resistor, power rating of the limiting resistor, the power rating of the 10V zener diode used in the circuit on no load condition, the power rating of the Zener diode with a load resistance of 2kΩ. Assume a current of 10mA flows through the zener diode to keep it in zener breakdown.
A full-wave rectifier is connected to a single-phase source and supplying an inductive load. For the sake of simplicity, you can assume that the ripple at the output current is negligible. Input specifications: The source is single-phase utility grid at 220 V and 50 Hz. Output specifications: The load resistance is 10 Ohm. Sketch the schematic of the system. Sketch the waveforms of the output voltage and current and the source voltage and current. Determine all the performance parameters.
