Abstract

Three-phase bridge rectifier circuits are extensively used in many high-power, low-cost applications over a wide range of both electronic and electrical power industries up to the 120kW level. They are applied in brushless excitation system for aircraft generators, static generator excitation schemes, road vehicle generator systems, high voltage ac-dc power conversion, and in wide range of d. c. motor and a. c. motor drives. Three-phase full-wave rectifier performance is examined in this paper. The output voltage is controlled by the firing angle δ. There is a constant connection between the currents and voltages on the a. c. side and the currents and voltages on the d. c. side. The circuit equations are derived for the input quantities, and output quantities, based on a series RL load.
