Study Notes
Single-Phase Full-Bridge Controlled Rectifier with RL Load
- Also known as 2-pulse converter or phase-controlled bridge rectifier
- Converter current is continuous if output current is always positive: i_o(ωt) > 0 for all t
Continuous-Current Mode
- T1 and T2 conduct for αf < ωt < αf + π, while T3 and T4 conduct for αf + π < ωt < αf + 2π
- Load current satisfies the equation: v_o = v_s = Vp sin(ωt)
- Current is found by solving the DE: d_io/dt = (Vp sin(ωt) - R_io)/L
- The complete solution of this equation has the form: i_o = i_o,N + i_o,F
- i_o,N = Ae^(-t/τ) and i_o,F = (Vp/Z) sin(ωt - ∅)
- Z = √(R^2 + ω^2L^2) and ∅ = tan^(-1)(ωL/R)
RL-Load Current (i_o,C)
- The complete expression is: i_o = Ae^(-t/τ) + (Vp/Z) sin(ωt - ∅)
- To determine A, consider the boundary condition: i_o(ωt = αf) = i_o(ωt = αf + π)
- Gives A = (2Vp sin(αf - ∅))/Z e^(tan∅ - 1)
Discontinuous-Current Mode
- In this case, the output current reduces to zero before ωt = αf + π and the converter goes to state zero (ALL 4 SCRs OFF) until the next triggering
- Output current is determined by applying the initial condition (i_o(ωt = αf) = 0)
- i_o(ωt) = (Vp/Z) [sin(ωt - ∅) - sin(αf - ∅) e^((ωt - αf)/tan∅)] for αf < ωt < αe
- V_o,dc = (π/2) (Vp e^(-αf/tan∅))/Z for discontinuous conduction mode
Examples
- Example 1: Single-phase full-bridge rectifier supplied from a 220V, 50Hz AC source and operates in continuous mode supplying an RL load with 50mH inductor and 10Ω resistor. The firing angle is set to 45°.
- Example 2: Show that the rectifier in Example 1 is operating in continuous conduction mode.
- Example 3: Single-phase full-bridge rectifier supplied from a 220V, 50Hz AC source and operates in discontinuous mode supplying an RL load with 50mH inductor and 10Ω resistor. The firing angle is set to 90°.
