Exercises: Rectifiers

1. Simple two-phase rectifiers

At the end of the stationery production line, the paper is packaged in rolls of several hundred
meters. To achieve the constant tension winding of these rolls without tearing the paper, a
torque-regulated DC motor is used. For a DC motor, the torque is proportional to the current.
We can therefore represent a DC motor regulated in torque by a constant current generator of
value Js.

1.1. Diodes Rectifiers

This motor is powered by the rectifier in the following figure:

-Plot the chronogram of vs(t) and recall its average value Vsmoy
-Plot the chronogram of i1(t)

1.2. Thyristor Rectifier

During paper winding, the diameter of the roller will increase and at the same time the
mechanical power required by the motor will increase. In order to be able to vary the power
absorbed by the engine and therefore by the element that symbolizes it ( P m= Vsmoy. Js) the
average voltage of vs(t) must be able to vary. The diodes of the previous rectifier are replaced
by thyristors.
- Plot the chronogram of vs(t) and i1(t) for the following delay angles =30°, =90° and
=135°
- Give the expression for the average value of vs (t): Vsmoy

2. Simple Two-Phase Rectification

2.1. Two-phase Diode rectifier

The schematic of such a rectifier is as follows

V1(t)

- Give the conduction times of diodes

- Plot the chronogram of vs(t) and recall its average value
- Plot the chronogram of ie(t)

2.2. Mixed rectifier

- Plot the chronogram of vs(t) and i e(t) for the following control angles =30°, =90°
and =135°
- Give the expression for the average value of vs(t): V smoy
- Plot the chronogram of ie(t).
