Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given that a boost converter has an input voltage of 24V and aims for an output of 60V, calculate the necessary duty ratio and discuss the implications of efficiency at varying loads.

💡 Hint: Apply your understanding of the converter's role.

Challenge 2 Hard

Suppose you designed a single-phase inverter with a 200V DC input, using SPWM. Calculate the RMS voltage if the modulation index is set to 0.9. Analyze how this choice affects the quality of the output waveform.

💡 Hint: Focus on the implications of modulation index across applications.
