ThreePhaseRectifier

Forhigherpowerdemands,threephaserectifiersarepreferredduetothefollowingreasons

1.HigherDCvoltage

10/30/2016 SingleandThreePhaseConfigurationofUncontrolledRectifiers

2.Betterinputpowerfactor
3.BetterTUF
4.Lessripplecontentinoutputcurrent,hencebetterload
performance.
5.Lowersizeoffiltercircuitparametersbecauseofhigherripple
frequency.
