Thyristor-Controlled Rectifiers
Abstract
In this chapter, various state-of-the-art thyristor rectifier topologies are analyzed and their states of operation are presented in table form. Also in this chapter, the conduction overlap phenomenon between two thyristors is examined, and the linear and cosine control techniques for thyristor rectifiers are analyzed. Solved problems and simulation results are included to help the reader understand the theory presented in this chapter.
