 The Thyristor SKAT28F is used in an application carrying half
sinusoidal current of period 1 ms and a peak of 100 A as
shown in Fig. The Thyristor may be modeled during
conduction to have a constant voltage drop of 1.1V and a
dynamic resistance of 8mΩ. Evaluate the average conduction

 A power-switching device is ideal in conduction and blocking (0V during
conduction and 0A in blocking). It is used in a circuit with switching
voltages and currents as shown. The switching waveforms under resistive
loading and inductive loading are shown in Fig. The switching times tr and
tf are 100 ns and 200 ns respectively. Evaluate
