The goal To introduce students to some of the basic configurations of single-phase and three-phase AC voltage controllers and line-commutated rectifiers. To perform a comparative analysis of these configurations from the standpoint of mains and load power quality. To introduce students to power transformer and semiconductor switches requirements as power converter components.
The outcome Students should understand principles of operation of the single-phase and three-phase ac voltage controllers and line-commutated diode and thyristor rectifiers. Based on the obtained knowledge, and for given operating conditions, students should be able to choose the appropriate ac voltage controller and rectifier topology.
