Abstract |
In this paper, the problem of Low Frequency harmonic currents generated by single-phase SCR
rectifiers, supplying a resistive load, is analyzed. In particular, the attention is focused on the
constraints in the utilization of such converters due to the respect of the EMC Standards, taking into
account the effects of the line inductance. The results presented in the paper show that the presence of
the line inductance increases significantly the power that can be transferred to the load, without
exceeding the harmonic current limits prescribed by the EN 61000-3-2 Standard. |
