Question:medium

A forced commutated thyristorized step-down chopper is shown. Neglect the ON-state drop across power devices. Assume that the capacitor is initially charged to 50 V with the polarity shown in the figure. The load current \(I_l\) can be assumed to be constant at 10 A. Initially, \(Th_M\) is ON and \(ThA\) is OFFThe turn-off time available to \( T_{H4} \) in microseconds, when \( T_{H4} \) is triggered, is ________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).

 

Show Hint

In chopper circuits, the capacitor's discharge time determines the turn-off duration for the thyristor.
