EXPERIMENT # 7

Three Phase AC/DC Conversion

Objective:
To have a hands-on experience of three phase AC/DC power electronic conversion and verify
the corresponding theory.

Three Phase Rectification with Resistive Load

The schematic diagram of the circuit to be used is shown in Fig. 1. The figure is divided into
two portions; each portion will be implemented by a single Unitrain card.

Figure. 1

The Unitrain board snapshot for the above circuit is given in Fig. 2. The Labsoft Timing
Diagram tool will be used to view different voltage and current waveforms. A separate lab
oscilloscope may also be used for additional observations.

From Settings, select the circuit configuration to be B6U. For displaying on the timing
diagram, select line-neutral voltages (all blue in color) and line-line voltages (all green in
color), and the output voltage (red in color). Also go to View → Display Values and select
the mean value of output voltage (yellow in color). This gives the output DC voltage. Verify
this value of Labsoft via calculation of output voltage. Write down the observed value and
calculation below.

Measured Value Calculated Value

Also view the output voltage on a standard lab oscilloscope.

Control Rectification:
A controlled rectifier can control the power fed to the load. It is used to convert AC supply
into unidirectional DC supply in an inverter. Controlled rectification is the process of
converting AC to direct current (DC) based on the required voltage and current demand.
