A single-phase half-wave diode rectifier powered by 230V AC mains produces 80 V (average voltage) across an inductive load. What is the load current zero duration per fundamental cycle? A three-phase rectifier shown in Fig. 3 has purely resistive load of R. Justify the following equalities: I_d, avg = 1/3 I_o, avg I_d, rms = 1/squareroot 3 I_o, rms I_s, rms = squareroot 2/3 I_o, rms
Solution
Vm = maximum value of transformer secondary voltage
Vs =rms value of secondary voltage
VLM =maximum value of load voltage = Vsm – diode drop – secondary resistance drop
VL = rms value of load voltage
IL = rms value of load current
VL(dc) =average value of load voltag
IL(dc) = average value of load current
ILM = maximum value of load current
RL = load resistance
RS = transformer secondary resistance
rd = diode forward resistance
now,
R0 = RS + rd
ILM = Vsm – VB /(RS + rd) + RL
= Vsm –VB
VLM = ILM . RL
VL(dc) = VLM/ = 0.318VLM
IL(dc) = ILM/ = 0.318ILM
IL = ILMn/2 = 0.5ILM = 0.5VLM/RL
