Abstract

A three-phase configuration of a switch mode rectifier (SMR) that makes use of continuous conduction waveform of the input supply current is suggested. Continuous conduction is achieved by the hysteresis current control (HCC) technique. This three-phase SMR operates at close to unity power factor and has reduced current stresses on the switching devices because of the continuous nature of input current. The conduction period considered for the rectifier diodes is 180°. Digitally simulated performance results are provided. Selected experimental results demonstrating the SMR operation are also presented
