Power Electronics Lab Report

This document describes an experiment on uncontrolled three-phase rectifiers. It discusses the objectives of becoming familiar with different three-phase rectifier topologies. It explains that a three-phase rectifier can make use of both the positive and negative peaks or just the positive ones. The procedures then describe setting up and measuring a half-wave three-phase rectifier, and then a full-wave three-phase rectifier, including measuring voltages and currents with and without an inductor, and evaluating the results.

Experiment 2

Uncontrolled Three-phase rectifiers (AC/DC converters)


1 OBJECTIVES
1- Become familiar with different uncontrolled three-phase rectifier topologies
2 THREE PHASE RECTIFIER
When a three-phase power source is available, one may obtain better DC output from a rectifier if all 3-
phases are utilized.

A three-phase rectifier can either make use both the positive and negative peaks or just the positive
ones.

3 PROCEDURE
3.1 HALF-WAVE THREE-PHASE RECTIFIER

3.1.1 Part 1
Connect the secondary of the transformer in a Y configuration so that each has a phases voltage of 45V
as shown.
Set the load to 33 Ohms (3 parallel 100 Ohms)
Measure (RMS and Oscilloscope screenshots):
Input voltage of phase A
The voltage of the diode in phase A
The output current and voltage (Both DC and RMS readings)
3.1.2 Part 2
Keep the same set-up as part 1 and add a 50mH inductor in series to the load and see its effects on the
output voltage and current.

3.1.3 Evaluation

List all your readings in tabulated form along with the reverent screenshots when appropriate. Compare
the reading with the half and full bridge rectifiers from the single-phase case. And explain the operation
of the half-wave three-phase rectifier.




3.2 HALF-WAVE THREE-PHASE RECTIFIER


3.2.1 Part 1
Connect the secondary of the transformer in a Y configuration so that each has a phases voltage of 45V
as shown.
Set the load to 33 Ohms (3 parallel 100 Ohms)
Measure (RMS and Oscilloscope screenshots):
Input voltage of phase A
The current of one of the diodes in phase A
The output current and voltage (Both DC and RMS readings)
3.2.2 Part 2
Keep the same set-up as part 1 and add a 50mH inductor in series to the load and see its effects on the
output voltage and current.

3.2.3 Evaluation

List all your readings in tabulated form along with the reverent screenshots when appropriate. Compare
the reading with the half-wave case.
Explain the operation of the full-wave three-phase rectifier.
