Title:

Design Power Diode Three Phase Half Wave and Full Wave Controlled
Rectifiers
Lab Safety Rules:
o Be sure of the condition of the equipment.
o Never rely on safety devices.
o Grounding should be done.
o Circuit should be clean avoid cluttered environment.
o Floor should not be wet.
o Use if possible one hand for practically performing.
o Never use ring etc.
o Never talk during the performing.
o Be slowly or cool and calm in lab.
o Resistors can burn your skin be aware of it.
o Discharge capacitors.

Lab Objectives:
When you completed this lab, you will be familiar with,
o Three Phase half and full wave Controlled Rectifiers.
o The waveforms of the voltages and currents present in these Rectifiers.
o How to calculate the average dc voltages provided by each type of rectifier.
o Advantages of three phase rectifiers over single phase rectifiers and about dual polarity dc
power supply.

Introduction:
A three phase half and full wave controlled rectifier with a positive polarity output converts
three phase ac voltage into positive dc voltages. The half wave rectifier consists of three
thyristors connected between a three phase ac power source and a load and full wave consists
of six thyristors connected between three ac power source without a neutral terminal both
circuit diagrams are given below.
