Uncontrolled (diode) Three-phase Rectifiers • At any one time, only ONE of the upper diodes can conduct • The most forward biased diode will conduct – this will depend on the instantaneous phase voltage since the upper diodes have a common cathode • At any one time, only ONE of the lower diodes can conduct • The most forward biased diode will conduct – this will depend on the instantaneous phase voltage since the lower diodes have a common anode
Uncontrolled (diode) Three-phase Rectifiers • At any one time, only ONE of the upper diodes can conduct • The most forward biased diode will conduct – this will depend on the instantaneous phase voltage since the upper diodes have a common cathode • At any one time, only ONE of the lower diodes can conduct • The most forward biased diode will conduct – this will depend on the instantaneous phase voltage since the lower diodes have a common anode
Uncontrolled (diode) Three-phase Rectifiers • The load voltage, vo, is the difference between the phase voltage (line-line voltage) For example, when D1 and D6 conduct, using KVL -van +vO +vbn = 0 ==> vO = van – vbn = vab
Uncontrolled (diode) Three-phase Rectifiers • The load voltage, vo, is the difference between the phase voltage (line-line voltage) When D1 and D2 conduct, using KVL -van +vO +vcn = 0 ==> vO = van – vcn = vac
Uncontrolled (diode) Three-phase Rectifiers
Uncontrolled (diode) Three-phase Rectifiers
Controlled (SCR) Three-phase Rectifiers • The transition of output voltage to the maximum instantaneous line-line voltage can be delayed • The reference of delay angle is when the SCR should conduct if it is a diode
Controlled (SCR) Three-phase Rectifiers
Controlled (SCR) Three-phase Rectifiers Delay angle beyond 90o is possible if the load is active (e.g. DC motor). The power is transferred from the load to the source.
