Yup, connected 66 degrees, disconnected 294 degrees over a full  cycle.
 
Same 5.45 ratio for the example given.

Oops, make the connected/disconnected 33 degrees connected and 57 + 90  = 
147 degrees disconnected during the half  cycle.


Yup!  each half cycle in full  wave?

Roger, the transformer only delivers current during the time  the  
transformer voltage is greater than the plate voltage. The  rectifiers 
disconnect  the 
transformer when it's voltage falls  below the plate voltage. After the 
peak,  the filter C is fully  charged and the rectifiers disconnect the   
transformer.
