Rectifiers are AC-DC converters . They can be used to drive DC motors and charge batteries. Rectifiers are divided into two groups: uncontrolled (diode) rectifiers and controlled (thyristor) rectifiers . Output voltage of uncontrolled rectifiers is a constant value and is not controllable, while output voltage of controlled rectifiers is variable and controllable.
In this chapter we will learn how to simulate uncontrolled rectifiers in the ...
