Abstract

A switch-mode rectifier designed with a built-in microprocessor has been developed. This rectifier is custom-made to fit into a power plant that is controlled and supervised by a computer system. It operates with high efficiency, no audible noise, high power factor, sinusoidal input current, and low electrical noise. The microprocessor can also be used to facilitate production testing of the rectifier as well as power plant testing and operation. The rectifier ratings are an input of 208-204 V single-phase, a power factor of 0.99 at full load, and an output of 48 V (adjustable 40-57 V), 28 A
