We have,
                  V1 = Vm*sin(theta)
Therefore,
 Firing angel, theta =0.01
    Conduction angle = 180 - theta = 179.99
Average voltage, Vav = (Vm/2pi) * (1+cos(theta))
              Vav = 70.03 V
Average current,  Iav = Vav / RL =0.70 A
Power output = Vav*Iav = 49.04 W
The time during which the SCR remains OFF is
       t = 1.67 ms

Iav=Vdc/RL
print "Load current,    Iav = Vav / RL = %0.2f A"%Iav
For an SCR full wave rectifier,
            Vdc = (Vm/pi)*(1+cos(theta))
Therefore,    theta =0.02
For 50Hz, T = 20 ms for 360
Therefore      t = (20*10**3/360)*63.34 = 1.07e-03 ms
Load current,    Iav = Vav / RL = 15.00 A

As the supply voltage is 400 sin 314t, Vm = 400 V
Peak inverse voltage(PIV) = sqrt(3)*Vm =692.82 V
RMS value of current = 20 V
Average value of current, Iav = RMS value/form factor =18.00 A
Power rating of the SCR(kW) = PIV * Iav =12.47 kW
