Marks: 30 Time: 2 Hrs

Note – (a) Attempt All questions.

(b) Assume suitable data(s) if require.
(c) Above time for answering the question paper including the time for uploading of
answers sheets.
Q.1 Discuss the schematic block diagram of Switched Mode Power Supply used in your 2
desktop. Explain the function of each part.
Q.2 (a) Consider a buck converter with Vin = 48 V, Vo = 27 V at Io = 8 A, and fs = 50 kHz. 3
Design for L and C such that the peak value of the inductor current does not exceed 15%
of its average value and the capacitor peak voltage does not exceed 2% of its average
value.
(b) Consider a buck converter of Q.2(a) by assuming the input voltage varies by 20% and 3
the output current varies between 10 A to 6 A. Redesign for L and C using the same
specifications with Vin(nominal) = 48 V, VO = 27 V, and fs = 50 kHz.
(a) Determine the diode and switch rms and peak current and voltage ratings for the design 2
of Q 2(a).
Q.3 The source of a boost converter has an internal resistance 5
Rs as shown in Fig.Q.3. Derive expressions for:
(a) Vo/Vin
(b)The efficiency η = Po/Pin
(c) The duty cycle at which the output voltage is
maximized
Fig. Q.3.
Your expressions should be given as a function of R/Rs.

Q.4 (a) In a regulated fly-back converter with a 1:1 turns ratio, Vo=12V, Vin is 12-24 V, Pload is 2.5
6W-60W, and the switching frequency (fs)=200kHz. Calculate the maximum value of the
magnetizing inductance Lm that can be used if the converter is always required to operate
in complete demagnetization (equivalent to dcm) mode.
(b) Determine and sketch all the steady-state 2.5
waveforms for the full-bridge converter of
Fig. Q.4b with the following specifications:
Vin =12 V, Vo = 2 V, (n1/n2) = 5, Po =75 W,
fs = 170 kHz, and L = 0.15 μH.

Q.5 (a) Draw circuit diagram and design all power circuit components of DSTATCOM OR 4
DVR (Assume suitable data as load rating 60kVA, 0.8 power lagging in case of
DSTATCOM and supply voltage sag and swell 28% with 6% unbalanced in case of DVR)
(b) Explain limitation of IEEE 519 standards. Also give reason of neutral current in case of 3
linear and nonlinear loads.
(c) Write name of any five power quality problems and terms. Also explain their effect in 3
distribution system.
OR
Explain types of current mode controls used in dc/dc converter. Also write main advantage
of this mode
