Question

Calculate the minimum time period for ASCI using the data: R=12 kΩ, C=45 μF.

(a) 2.58 sec

(b) 2.16 sec

(c) 2.23 sec

(d) 2.48 sec

This question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Solid-State Switching Circuits in section Introduction to Solid-State Switching Circuits of Electric Drives

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) 2.16 sec

Explanation: The minimum time period for ASCI is a 4×R×C = 4×12×45×.001 = 2.16 sec. The total time is the sum of charging and discharging time.
