Solution
Q 1. A 400 watt, 200 V dc motor ( assume highly inductive load) is supplied
dc power through an ac-to-dc converter. The input of this converter is
taken from ac supply having 230 phase rms voltage at 50 Hz frequency.
Select a suitable ac-to-dc converter through analysis for this application.

The output dc voltage and current is computed as
