Title :
Simulation model of an input power factor of a single — Phase AC-DC drive
Abstract :
The re-awakening of the Ajaokuta Steel rolling mills and other industrialized sectors of the Nigerian economy where a large numbers of users of drives exist has influenced this research. It establishes the Input Power factor problem by simulating a DC drive and also provides useful information on the behaviour factors viz; Harmonic factor, Displacement factor and Ripple factors to users who lack knowledge of the basic understanding of the drive.
