REQUIREMENT FOR 3-PHASE RECTIFIERS
• Output power from the single-phase rectifiers are limited (up to about 15 kW)
• Higher power outputs (and less voltage ripple) can be obtained by using 3-
phase rectifiers.

m - PHASE • Now consider only four phases, with v1 to v4, having four
HALF WAVE arbitrary waveforms. The output will be as shown in figure.
RECTIFIER …
• As seen, at any given time, the output voltage will be equal to the highest input voltage from any phase.
• We can extend the same concept to 3-phase half wave rectifiers.

THREE PHASE HALF WAVE
RECTIFIER WITH HIGHLY
INDUCTIVE LOAD
• With a highly inductive load, the
load current can be assumed
constant in steady state operation.
Therefore, the load can be
represented by a current source.
