In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management.

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 ...

The major drawbacks of conventional diode or thyristor rectifiers are overcome by active power factor correction; this further provides additional benefits. Operating principles and features of single ...

This application note presents the status of the techniques of three-phase rectifier systems with low effects on the mains. The document describes the classification of three-phase rectifier systems ...

ABB is a true pioneer in the world of industrial direct current (DC) applications, with ASEA, an ABB parent company, designing the world's first DC arc furnace in 1885. Today, over a century later, ...
