    The document discusses different types of poly-phase uncontrolled rectifiers. It describes a 3-phase half-wave uncontrolled rectifier, explaining how each diode conducts for a period of the cycle. It then discusses a 3-phase full-wave bridge rectifier, explaining the conduction pattern and derivation of the average output voltage. Finally, it briefly introduces a 6-phase uncontrolled rectifier using a center-tapped transformer secondary to produce a smoother output voltage waveform.

    5.Poly- phase uncontrolled rectification


    For most industrial applications poly – phase rectifier circuits are use. The
    circuit employed may gives either half – wave or full – wave, controlled or
    uncontrolled rectifier circuits.

    1. Three –Phase Half -Wave Uncontrolled Rectifier

    Fig.5.1 shows a 3-phase half-wave uncontrolled rectifier with resistive load.


    The rectifier is fed from an ideal 3 – phase supply through delta –star 3- phase
    transformer. The principle of operation of this convertor can be explained as
    follows:

     Diode 1 which has a more positive voltage at its anode conducts for the
    period from π/6 to 5 π / 6. In this period D2 and D3 are off. The neutral
    wire provides a return path to the load current.
     Similarly, diode 2, and 3, whichever has more positive voltage at its
    cathode conducts.
     The conduction pattern is: D1 ,D2, D3.

    The output voltage and current waveforms are shown in Fig.5.2.

    Analytical properties of the output voltage waveform

    The average value of the voltage waveform in Fig.5.3 can be found as follows:

    Fig.3

    Let van= Vm sin ωt

    vbn = Vm sin( ωt - 2 π / 3)

    vcn = Vm sin( ωt - 4 π / 3)

    The average value of the load voltage wave is

    The load current Idc is:

    Idc =

    Note that the secondary windings of the supply transformer carry


    unidirectional currents, which leads dc magnetization of the transformer core.
    This implies that the transformer cores have dc flux, so that for the same ac
    voltage and hence flux swing, it must have larger core size than is necessary.
    This problem of dc magnetization is avoided using bridge rectifier circuit.

    2.Three –Phase Full-Wave Uncontrolled Bridge Rectifier

    Fig.5.4 shows a 3-phase full-wave uncontrolled bridge rectifier with resistive


    load. The rectifier is fed from an ideal 3 – phase supply through delta –star 3-
    phase transformer. The principle of operation of this convertor can be
    explained as follows:

    Each three-phase line connects between pair of diodes .One to route power to
    positive (+) side of load, and other to route power to negative (-) side of load.

     Diode 1, 3 and 5, whichever has a more positive voltage at its anode


    conducts.
     Similarly, diode 2, 4 and 6, whichever has more negative voltage at its
    cathode return the load current.
     The conduction pattern is: 12-16-36-34-54-52-12.
     Each diode conducts for 120˚ in each supply cycle as shown in Fig.5.5.

    The output voltage is the instantaneous difference between two appropriate


    phases at each instant as depicted in Fig.5.6, and the resultant dc output
    voltage wave is shown in Fig.5.7.

    The average output voltage:

    To find the average voltage Vdc on the load, assume that the line –to – line
    voltages are represented by the following equations,

    vab= van – vbn = Vm sin( - Vm sin( ,

    hence

    Similarly,

    Hence: by integrating over 1/6 of a cycle,

    The load current Idc is:

    The average power is:

    3. Six –phase (hexa-phase) uncontrolled rectifier

    To get more smooth output voltage waveform, a six –phase supply is obtained
    from a three-phase system using transformer with centre tapped secondary
    winding as shown in the Fig.5.8 below:
