Operation of Half-Wave

Polyphase Rectifiers
Polyphase Half-Wave Rectifiers
 Are usually called B phase half-wave rectifiers
 The average DC value of the output voltage waveform from a 3-
phase half-wave rectifier is given as:

 the average DC output voltage of the rectifier can be expressed in


terms of the rms (root-mean-squared) phase voltage giving:
Polyphase Half-Wave Rectifiers
 DC output voltage:

 RMS value of load current of three:


But how does this three-phase half-wave
rectifier circuit work?
