Abstract

The three-phase diode rectifier with capacitive Inter is highly sensitive to line voltage unbalance. Because of its inherent nonlinear characteristics small line voltage unbalance may cause highly unbalanced line current causing detrimental effects on power quality. This paper presents a theoretical basis on this 'unbalance amplification effect' and derives an analytical model of line current characteristics under unbalanced line voltage condition for various modes of operation. The results provide a basic and important guideline for optimal design of a three-phase diode rectifier with capacitive filter that is most commonly used for interfacing various power conversion equipments to power lines.
