Single-phase full-wave rectifier study with experimental measurements

摘要

This paper studies experimentally the harmonic absorbed currents by single-phase rectifiers under sinusoidal supply voltage conditions. Laboratory tests have been developed with a rectifier supplied with non-distorted voltages to characterize its absorbed harmonic currents (magnitude and phase angle). From these results, a database that characterizes rectifier harmonic behavior experimentally and allows the rectifier currents to be easily calculated is proposed. The database applicability is experimentally studied in three laboratory tests.
