Abstract
Three-phase diode-bridge rectifiers are used to convert the AC input into DC voltage. A large capacitor is connected as a filter on the DC side, since in most applications, a low ripple in the DC output voltage is desirable. Unbalance in the supply conditions of a three-phase diode-bridge rectifier with a DC filter capacitor gives rise to uncharacteristic harmonics on both the AC and DC sides.This paper proposes a simplified method for calculating the uncharacteristic harmonic currents generated by the three-phase diode-bridge rectifier under unbalance, taking into account the effects of both the AC and DC side impedances. Analytical expressions for the harmonic currents are derived using the switching functions with overlap period the AC circuit theory. Therefore, the proposed method can be executed only with algebraic computation and its accuracy is quite high. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparison with the results of time simulation.
