Diode Rectifiers

Question-1:
In the basic circuit of figure below, 𝑉𝑠=120 𝑉 at 60 Hz, 𝐿=10 𝑚𝐻, and
𝑅=5 𝛺. Calculate and plot the current 𝑖 along with 𝑣𝑠.

Solution:

Vs=120 V at 60 Hz

𝐿=10 𝑚𝐻

𝑅=5 𝛺

ω = 2πf = 2 x 3.12 x 60 radians/s = 377 radians/s

To obtain i(t) we can consider the following equivalent circuit, which

applies only when the current is flowing.
In the above circuit for t>0 when the current is flowing

Ri =Vs

or

Adding the forced response and natural response

I= +

Where

Z= √

Φ = tan-1

And A is the coefficient to be determined

Initially at t = 0
i(0-) = i(0+) = 0
We will use this initial condition to calculate A in the previous
equation.

0 = A+

A= = Vs
So the current is

i(t) = e- +

Plot is given for different values of t.

Question-2:
In the basic circuit of figure below, 𝑉𝑠=120 𝑉 at 60 Hz, 𝐿=10 𝑚𝐻,
and 𝑉𝑑=150 𝑉. Calculate and plot the current 𝑖 along with 𝑣𝑠.
Solution:
VL= Vs –Vd i>0

√ VsSinϴb = Vd

ϴb = Sin-1( )= 1.084 rad (62.110)

√

i(ϴ)= ∫ dϴ

i(ϴ) = ∫ √ Vd)

i(ϴ)= [√ b)- Vd(ϴ-ϴb)]

i(t)= -45.01Cos ϴ - 79.79 ϴ - 64.19

ϴb <ϴ< ϴf

Calculate ϴf

i(ϴf)=0= -45.01Cos ϴ-3979 ϴ+64.19

Cos ϴf+0.884 ϴf = 1.426

ϴf = 2.56 rad
i(ϴ) can be calculated and plotted between ϴb = 1.084 rad and ϴf =
2.56 rad from the above equation of i(ϴ).

Question-3:
In the single-phase diode rectifier circuit shown in figure below with
zero 𝐿𝑠 and a constant dc current 𝐼𝑑=10 𝐴, calculate the average
power supplied to the load:
(a) If 𝑣𝑠 is sinusoidal voltage with 𝑉𝑠=120 𝑉 at 60 Hz
(b) If 𝑣𝑠 has the pulse waveform shown in the Fig. P5-4
Solution:
a) For vs Sinusoidal
vs = 120 v
Vd = 0.9 vs = 0.9x120 v = 108 v
Pd = Vd Id = 108 x 10 = 1080 W
b)

( ) ( )
Vd = = = 200 x = 133.33v

Pd = Vd Id = 133.33 x 10 = 1333.3 W

Question-4:
In the single-phase rectifier circuit shown in figure below, 𝑉𝑠=120 𝑉
at 60 Hz, 𝐿𝑠=1 𝑚𝐻, and 𝐼𝑑=10 𝐴. Calculate u, 𝑉𝑑, and 𝑃𝑑. What is
the percentage voltage drop in 𝑉𝑑 due to 𝐿𝑠?
 Solution:

As we know that

Cosu = 1- Id
√

U= 0.3 rad = 17.14 0

Vd = 0.9 Vs - Id = 105.6 v

Pd = Vd Id =1056 W

Drop

%= x 100 = 2.22 %

Where Vdo = 0.9 Vs

Question-5:
In the simplified three-phase rectifier circuit of figure below, obtain
the average and the rms values of current through each diode as a
ratio of the dc-side current 𝐼𝑑.
Solution:

ID(avg) = = Id =

ID(rms) = √ =
√

Question-6:
For simplification in the three-phase rectifier circuit of figure below,
assume the commutation voltages to be increasing linearly rather
than sinusoidally.

a) Obtain the expression for u, following a derivation similar to

b) For 𝑉LL = 208 𝑉 at 60 Hz, 𝐿s = 2 𝑚𝐻 , and 𝐼d = 10 𝐴 ,

Converters
Question-1:
In the single-phase converter of figure below, the input voltage has a
square waveform with amplitude of 200 V at a frequency of 60 Hz.
Assume 𝐼𝑑 = 10 𝐴. Obtain an analytical expression for 𝑉𝑑 in terms
of 𝑉𝑠, 𝐼, and α. Obtain the 𝑣𝑑 waveform and its average value for 𝑉𝑑
for α equal to 45° and 135°.
Solution:

= = Vampl -2 Vampl

= Vampl(1- )

At α = 450, Vdα=100 v
At α = 1350, Vdα=-100 v

Question-2:
The single-phase converter of figure below is supplying a dc load of
1 kW. A 1.5-kVA-isolation transformer with a source-side voltage
rating of 120 V at 60 Hz is used. It has a total leakage reactance of
8% based on its rating. The ac source voltage of nominally 115 V is
in the range of -10% and +5%. Assume 𝐿𝑑 is large enough to allow
the assumption of 𝑖𝑑=𝐼𝑑.
Calculate the minimum transformer turns ratio if the dc load voltage
is to be regulated at a constant value of 100 V. What is the value of α
when 𝑉𝑠=115 𝑉+5% ?

Solution:

Pd = 1kW, Id =10A, id=Id

Vs = 115 v (+5%, -10%)
ω=2πf =2π x 60 = 377 rad
Calculate Ls:
Transformer VA= 1500 VA
Rated Vprim = 120 V

Rated Iprim = = 12.5 A

Zbase = rated = 9.6 Ω

ωLs = (8%) Zbase

.
or Ls = 0.08 x

Ls = 2mH
α cannot go below 00, therefore to calculate the minimum
transformer turns ratio a (where a= )
 .
Vd= Vs cosα - ω Ls)Id

Substitute Vd = 100 , α=00

And Vs(min)= 115 v(-10%) = 103.5 v
From the above equation amin=0.89
With amin and Vs=115v (+5%) = 120.75v
The above equation yields α= 310 for Vd=100v.

Question-3:
In the three-phase converter of figure below, derive the expression
for the displacement power factor given by the following equation
DPF≈1/2[cos𝛼+cos(𝛼+𝑢)].

Solution:

Vd = Vdocosα - --------------------(i)

Cos α u = cosα - Id----------------(ii)

√
 √
Vdo = VLL -------------------------------(iii)

Replacing ωLsId) in eq(i)

√
Vd= Vdocosα – VLL[cosα – cos α u ]

Vd= [cosα cos α u ]

Dc power Pd = VdId = [cosα cos α u ]

On the ac side ac power is

Pac = √
√
Approximation: Is1 = Id

The above equation is approximate because the above equation is

correct only if Ls=0 and hence u=0.
√
Pac = √ Id cos

Equating Pac = Pdc

√ √
√ Id cos = VLL [cosα cos α u ]

DPF= cos = [cosα cos α u ]
