The Formula Lightning electric race car competition is an interuniversity 2 competition project that has been active since 1994. This project involves the design, analysis, and testing of an electric open-wheel race car. A photo and the generic layout of the car are shown in Figures 1.[r]
Note that after D 1 turns on, capacitor C discharges through it and the gate of the SCR. At the end of the half cycle, the voltage on the capacitor is again essentially 0 volts, and the whole process is ready to start over again at the beginning of the next half cycle. To determi[r]
_ _c Assume that the primary voltage of this transformer bank is a constant 13.8 kV, and plot the secondary _ voltage as a function of load current for currents from no-load to full-load[r]
SOLUTION At the beginning of each half cycle, the voltages across the PNPN diode and the SCR will both be smaller then their respective breakover voltages, so no current will flow to the load (except for the very tiny current charging capacitor C), and v load (t) will be 0 volts. However, capaci[r]
