Question

A single-phase full bridge diode rectifier delivers power to a constant load current of 10 A. The average and rms values of the source currents will be respectively.

(a) 5 A, 10 A

(b) 10 A, 10 A

(c) 5 A, 5 A

(d) 10 A, 5A

I have been asked this question in my homework.

This intriguing question comes from Miscellaneous topic in portion Applications, Cycloconverters and  Miscellaneous of Power Electronics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) 10 A, 10 A

The best explanation: As the load current is continuous, Iavg = Irms = 10 A.
