Theyhavelimitedpower-handlingcapabilities
GeneratesignificantripplesintheDCoutputvoltage.
Three-phaserectifiersprovideasmootherDCoutput,sotheoutputfilteringisdonemoreeasily.
Thefiltercomponentsoflargepowerrectifiersarelargeandexpensive,soareductionoreliminationoffiltersisimportant
Therefore,forhigh-powerapplications,usingthree-phaserectifiersisdesirable.
Three-phaserectifiershavethefollowingadvantagescomparedwithsingle-phaserectifiers:
Higheroutputvoltageforagiveninputvoltage
Limitedamplituderipples(althoughtheyneverfalltozero).I.E.Outputvoltageissmoother
Higherfrequencyripples,Simplifyingfiltering
Higheroverallefficiency
