and draw the waveforms then we did the same thing after connecting R -L load circuit. Finally,
we used SIMULINK to verify our results.

# Discussion

- In the this table we did three-phase, six pulse circuit using the resistive load Z
We got the result for voltage / current from DC voltmeter/ Current ammeter

And we calculate the output voltage by using this equation |:

Vcal =0.675 vLL

VLL=50v

0.675 x50v = 33.75

Then measured the output power from this equation :

(E1 x l1)

35 x 200 mA = 7 W

35x 190m A = 6.65 W

 - Also we got the conduction angle from this equation :
360 tc
 here tc take from oscilloscope (delta).
16.67 ms
In this part the tc for Resistive (R) was 5.5 ms also same in Inductive (RL)

360× 5.5 ms

16.67 ms

And the last things we took ripple frequency from oscilloscope it was 180 HZ

- What is the effect of the inductive load on the operation of the circuit?
The current is getting smoother in the waveform and continues
