 Three-Phase Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier
A three-phase bridge rectifier can operate with or without a
transformer
It consists of 6 diodes and gives 6-pulses on the output voltage
Each diode conducts the full-load current for 120 i.e. one-third
of a cycle
The pair of diodes which are connected between the supply lines
and have highest amount of line-to-line voltage will conduct
The diodes are numbered in the order of their conduction
sequences

The conduction sequence is: 12, 23, 34, 45, and 61
