Total harmonic distortion reduction add-on unit for three-phase diode rectifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
ELECT An active add-on option for 208 VLL/60 Hz passive three-phase rectifiers is presented. The active optional circuit is implemented as ‘centretapped’ full-bridge stage and guarantees low-harmonic input currents and unity power factor. The active unit is able to operate for a wide frequency range and therefore applicable for high(e.g. >100 kW) and low-power applications. Some basic considerations such as principle operation, duty cycles, voltage/current stress of switches and design of inductors are discussed and additionally supported by simulation results. Applicability of emerging wide bandgap power devices such as silicon carbide MOSFETs, which improve converter efficiency and power density, is furthermore briefly discussed.

Active Power Line Filters for Switching Power Supplies
This paper analyses two schemes of single-stage diode-switched active filters used in new switching power supplies designs to improve the power factor. From the point of view of the power flow, the distortion reduction is based on the improvement of the power conversion processes. Most of the ca/cc switching power supplies consists of two separated parts: a rectifier – in most cases a diode bri...
متن کاملA Novel 36-pulse rectifier with low kVA rate to reduce harmonic input current distortion
The increase in the number of pulses in multipulse rectifiers leads to a reduction in harmonic current distortion. But this increase in the number of pulses leads to an increase in kVA, cost, and complexity of the multi-pulse rectifiers. As a result, in industrial applications, 12-pulse rectifiers are mainly used due to their lightweight, simple transformers, and low kVA rate, and low cost. The...
