A multi-level thyristor rectifier with improved power factor
Abstract
The thyristor bridge rectifier is a reliable and cost effective topology commonly used in medium voltage applications. Low and load varying input displacement factor (IDF) and poor input harmonic current profile are the main drawbacks of this topology and are gaining more and more importance. This paper proposes modification of a conventional (18 pulse) thyristor rectifier to achieve higher power factor. The proposed topology employs one GTO …
