THREE PHASE HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER

OBJECTIVE
Understand the principle of three-phase rectifier circuit by an experiment, which gets DC output
from three-phase AC voltage using characteristic of diode.

EQUIPMENT
1. IT-910B (Three Phase half/ Full Wave Rectifier)
2. Oscilloscope
3. Load connection cord
4. Power supply connection cord
5. Three phase AC380 (V)

Theory:
Three Phase half-Wave Rectifier
The three-phase half-wave rectifier can be seen here

The factor consisting of 3 diodes having link of cathodes at a single point is that for
one point diode having highest voltage given to it will operate and other 2 diodes
will be in a reversed biased state
The three-phase voltages given at the rectifiers circuitry can be seen here,
Its resultant output voltage can here.

Note that voltage at the output of rectifier for any point has a large value than 3
input voltage at that instant.
The output voltage also has a flat surface than the full-wave bridge rectifier circuit
It consists of AC voltage elements at one-eighty hertz and harmonics.
The ripple factors for rectifier of this category of circuitry is 18.3%
The value of the three-phase half ave rectifier is determined here and explained with
detail.
