Three-Phase Thyristor Converter Waveforms with zero AC-Side Inductance (Ls=0, α≠0º)
In some applications (battery
charger, some ac/dc drives), the dc
voltage has to be controllable
Thyristor converters provide
controlled conversion of ac into dc
Primarily used in three-phase,
high power application
∴ v Pn ( = v Pn − v Np ) is negative
The average dc
voltage will be
reduced by an
additional area Au
for every π/3
radians.
Au = ∫v
