Performance of AC to DC Converters
output current
is assumed to
be pure dc
As in the case of a
single phase converter,
commutations are not
instantaneous due to
the presence of source
inductances.
It takes place over an
overlap period of 1
instead. During the
overlap period three
thyristors instead of
two conducts. Current
in the outgoing
thyristor gradually
decreases to zero while
the incoming thyristor
current increases and
equals the total load
current at the end of
the overlap period.
