In a multiphase rectifier
dc output increases
Harmonic component
in output decreases
Both are beneficial for us.
So, we use multiphase rectifier.

As MOSFET have internally antiparallel
diodes, MOSFET can not withstand reverse
voltage, due to which MOSFET can not be
used as current source inverter (CSI).

As in the output the even and 3rd and
multiple of 3rd harmonics are absent so,
lowest order harmonics is 5th harmonics.
So, frequency of 5th harmonics
