Operation with an RL Load


Pages in this Section:


This chapter describes the operation of a single-phase fully- controlled bridge rectifier circuit with a load consisting of both a resistor and an inductor in series. The analysis in this page is based on the assumption that the SCRs are ideal controlled switches. The main purpose of the fully-controlled bridge rectifier circuit is to provide a variable dc voltage from an ac source.

The chapter describes the operation of a fully-controlled bridge rectifier circuit with an RL load. Even though the circuit is simulated using Pspice, Mathcad and Matlab, it is difficult to reach the level of interactive programming that can be achieved with Java or C by using these packages. Next chapter describes the operation of this circuit when the source inductance is also taken into account.
