Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

Calculate the peak-to-peak ripple voltage Vpp of the full-wave bridge rectifier with capacitor filter circuit and generate the output waveform. Then, to determine the peak-to-peak ripple voltage Vpp ...

Fig. 1. Typical diode full-wave bridge. Full-wave diode bridges are found in many electronic systems (Fig. 1). At typical AC power line voltages, the drop across the diodes has little impact on the ...

Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...
