Abstract

The operating characteristics of a diode bridge rectifier incorporating a passive LC filter are analyzed by numerical calculations. A computer program is developed to create the contour maps of the power factor, total harmonic distortion and the DC output voltage. With the help of the contour maps, the circuit parameters of LC filters can be determined according to practical considerations as well as the desired performance of the rectifier circuit
