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.
