| Abstract |
Two new schemes of low-distorting single-phase
diode-bridge rectifiers with capacitive smoothing of the
output voltage are proposed, analyzed, and verified. The
harmonic distortion reduction proposed is based on
optimum conversion of the ripple power to an additional
quantity of dc power consumed in the load. To verify the
feasibility and usefulness of the proposed improved rectifier
circuits, they were tested by computer simulation. In
addition, the corresponding laboratory rectifiers of 0.5 kW
were built and tested. In proposed schemes, low values of
the total harmonic distortion hold in wide range of the load
variation. |
