Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of a 3-phase fullwave bridge-rectifier system with constant load voltage, and with series resistance and inductance in the a.c. source. It is shown that four different operating modes or conducting patterns may occur, according to the phase angle of the source impedance and the magnitude of the load voltage. The results given include a complete set of output voltage/current characteristics from open circuit to short circuit, for the full range of possible source impedances, together with details of the source and bridge currents.
