Unit V – Applications of Inverters.

Part A
1. What are the advantages of / Protection available in On-line UPS ?
It can protect the critical load against surges, line noise, spikes line noise, frequency and
voltage variation, brownout outages. All these protections are not available in the off-line
UPS System.

2. Define Redundancy.
It means the use of more power conditioners that it is required for the critical loads. In
that case, it one of the conditioners fails it can be isolated and the remaining conditioners
can serve the critical loads without any disturbance.

3. What are the applications of UPS ?


Communication systems, Medical Equipments, Process Industires – continuous Monitoring
of processes, Personal Computers.

4. What are the functions of a power supply?

5. What are the limitations of linear regulator?

7. What is Induction Heating?


Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a
metal) by electromagnetic induction, where eddy currents (also called Foucault currents)
are generated within the metal and resistance leads to Joule heating of the metal. An
induction heater (for any process) consists of an electromagnet, through which a high-
frequency alternating current (AC) is passed. Heat may also be generated by magnetic
hysteresis losses in materials that have significant relative permeability. The frequency of
AC used depends on the object size, material type, coupling (between the work coil and the
object to be heated) and the penetration depth.

8. Define Dielectric Heating.


Dielectric heating, also known as electronic heating, RF heating, high-frequency heating is
the process in which a high-frequency alternating electric field, or radio wave or microwave
electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material. At higher frequencies, this heating is
caused by molecular dipole rotation within the dielectric. At lower frequencies in
conductive fluids, other mechanisms such as ion-drag are more important in generating
thermal energy.
9. What are the applications of Electronic timer?
Electronic timers are essentially quartz clocks with special electronics, and can achieve
higher precision than mechanical timers. Electronic timers have digital electronics, but may
have an analog or digital display. Integrated circuits have made digital logic so inexpensive
that an electronic timer is now less expensive than many mechanical and electromechanical
timers. Individual timers are implemented as a simple single-chip computer system, similar
to a watch and usually using the same, mass-produced, technology.Many timers are now
implemented in software. Modern controllers use a programmable logic controller rather
than a box full of electromechanical parts. The logic is usually designed as if it were relays,
using a special computer language called ladder logic. In PLCs, timers are usually simulated
by the software built into the controller. Each timer is just an entry in a table maintained by
the software.
10. What are the types Digital counters?
 Asynchronous (ripple) counter – changing state bits are used as clocks to subsequent
state flip-flops
 Synchronous counter – all state bits change under control of a single clock
 Decade counter – counts through ten states per stage
 Up/down counter – counts both up and down, under command of a control input
 Ring counter – formed by a shift register with feedback connection in a ring
 Johnson counter – a twisted ring counter
 Cascaded counter
