1. Abstract
In this experiment, we will construct a three phase Full-wave
uncontrolled rectifier with R, R-C loads using six diodes (bridge) and
analyze the circuit. We are going to observe the voltage signal coming from
the source till the output on load using oscilloscope. In addition, we will
simulate the circuit using MATLAB software and compare the results of the
simulation with the hardware results.

2. Introduction
A three-phase full-wave rectifier is a crucial component in the
conversion of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in high-power
applications. It is widely used in industries, particularly where stable and
efficient DC power is required. The three-phase full-wave rectifier offers
significant advantages over single-phase rectifiers, including reduced ripple
in the output voltage, higher efficiency, and the ability to handle greater
power loads.
A three-phase full-wave rectifier typically consists of six diodes
arranged in a bridge configuration. These diodes are connected to the three-
phase AC supply lines, which are labeled as phases A, B, and C. The
arrangement of the diodes ensures that during each cycle of the AC input,
one pair of diodes is conducting, allowing current to flow through the load
in a consistent direction, thereby producing DC output.
The operation of a three-phase full-wave rectifier is based on the
principle of rectification, which involves converting the AC input voltage
into a pulsating DC output. Each phase of the AC supply is 120 degrees out
of phase with the others. As the AC voltage cycles through its positive and
1
negative half-cycles, the rectifier’s diodes conduct in pairs, ensuring that the
current flows in the same direction through the load.
The three-phase full-wave rectifier is a critical technology in the field of
power electronics, providing efficient and reliable DC power conversion for
a wide range of applications. Its ability to deliver a stable, low-ripple DC
output, handle high power loads, and operate with greater efficiency than
single-phase rectifiers makes it indispensable in industrial and commercial
settings. As industries continue to demand more efficient and robust power
conversion solutions, the importance of three-phase full-wave rectifiers will
only grow, cementing their role as a foundational component in modern
electrical systems.
