If L and C are both zero, then theload resistor is connected directly to the output of the diode bridge,and the ac line current waveform is purely sinusoidal.An approximate argument: the L-C filter has negligible effect on the acline current waveform provided that the filter input impedance Zi haszero phase shift at the second harmonic of the ac line frequency, 2 fL.Fundamentals of Power Electronics7Chapter 16: Line-commutated rectifiersApproximate THDQTHD=1%THD=3%THD=10%THD=0.5%THD=30%f0 / fL1 10 1000.111050f0=12π LCR0=LCQ =RR0fp=12πRC=f0QFundamentals of Power Electronics8Chapter 16: Line-commutated rectifiersExamplevg(t)ig(t)THD = 3.6%t10 ms 20 ms 30 ms 40 msTypical ac line current and voltage waveforms, near the boundary between continuousand discontinuous modes and with small dc filter capacitor. f0/fL = 10, Q = 1Fundamentals of Power Electronics9Chapter 16: Line-commutated rectifiers16.2 The Three-Phase Bridge RectifierLiL(t)+V–Cdc loadRøaøbøcia(t)3øacD1D2D3D4D5D60iL–iL90˚ 180˚ 270˚ 360˚ia(ωt)ωtLine currentwaveform forinfinite LFundamentals of Power Electronics10Chapter 16: Line-commutated rectifiers16.2.1 Continuous conduction mode0iL–iL90˚ 180˚ 270˚ 360˚ia(ωt)ωtia(t)=4nπILsinnπ2sinnπ3sin nωtΣn = 1,5,7,11,...∞Fourier series:• Similar to square wave, butmissing triplen harmonics• THD = 31%• Distortion factor = 3/π = 95.5%• In comparison with single phase case:the missing 60˚ of current improves the distortion factor from 90% to95%, because the triplen harmonics are removedFundamentals of Power Electronics11Chapter 16: Line-commutated rectifiersA typical CCM waveformvan(t)ia(t)THD = 31.9%t10 ms 20 ms 30 ms 40 msvbn(t) vcn(t)Inductor current contains sixth harmonic ripple (360 Hz for a 60 Hz acsystem).

The delayangle α must be greater than 90˚.

This causes the current to lag, and decreases thedisplacement factor. The power factor becomes:power factor = 0.955 cos (α)When the dc output voltage is small, then the delay angle α is close to90˚ and the power factor becomes quite small.
