Exercise 1 (chapter 5)
Basic AC rectifier.
Consider the basic commutation circuit of Fig. 1 with Id =10A .
a) With vS=230 V at 50 Hz and LS=0, Calculate vd and average power Pd.

Figure 1. Diode rectifier

Exercise 2 (Chapter 5)
In the single phase rectifier circuit shown in Fig. 2 vS=230V at 50 Hz, LS= 0.5mH and id=5 A. Calculate
the commutation interval u, DC output voltage vd and output power Pd . What is the percentage voltage
drop in vd due to LS.?

Exercise 3 (chapter 5) Three phase AC rectifier.

Some of the questions need to use the Fourier analysis (chapter 3).

Based on Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. Diode rectifier with a constant dc current.

a. Derive the solution shown in (1). This is the RMS current.
b.
1. What is the value for Is if Id=100 A?

c. Derive the RMS value for the fundamental.
1. What is the value for Is1 if Id=100 A?
d. Derive the result in equation (2)
.
1. If the line to neutron voltage is 400 V. Find the DC voltage.
2. With a current Id=100 A, find the input power.
