The Correct option is 3

Concept:

The output voltage of 3 phase 6 pulse bridge rectifiers is:

VO =  = 

Rms Line voltage = 415 V

Out voltage = VO

Calculation:

Pick inverse voltage 3 phase 6 pulse bridge rectifiers if the safety factor is 2 

peak =    = 1232.49

Peak inverse voltage =Vpeak

Additional Information Thyristor:

  • A thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor device, consisting of alternating P-type and N-type materials (PNPN). A thyristor usually has three electrodes: an anode, a cathode, and a gate, also known as a control electrode.
