Operation and Analysis of three phase uncontrolled rectifier.

Instructional Objectives
On completion the student will be able to

• Draw the conduction table and waveforms of a three phase half wave uncontrolled
converter supplying resistive and resistive inductive loads.
• Calculate the average and RMS values of the input / output current and voltage
waveforms of a three phase uncontrolled half wave converter.
• Analyze the operation of a three phase full wave uncontrolled converter to find out the
input / output current and voltage waveforms along with their RMS and Average values.
• Find out the harmonic components in the input / output voltage and current waveforms of
a three phase uncontrolled full wave converter.
• Analyze the operation of a three phase full wave uncontrolled converter supplying a
Capacitive – Resistive load.
