Six pulse bridge converter: The conduction time of a thyristor in a six pulse connection can be increased when the converter is obtained by a series or parallel connection of…

Three pulse midpoint converter: These are basically three-phase converters, and are very popular because a 3-phase supply is readily available. 3-phase converters have a greater power capability than single phase…

Two pulse bridge converter: A two pulse bridge converter is achieved as shown in Fig. 3.22 from two midpoint converters. They are connected in series on the dc side and…

Two pulse mid point converter: Two pulse mid point converter are, in general, single phase converters. The pulse number of the converter indicates the frequency of the ripple voltage superimposing…

Phase Controlled Line Commutated Converters: In these Phase Controlled Line Commutated Converters, the commutation voltage, i.e. the voltage required to transfer current from one thyristor to the other, is provided…

Electric Converter: Electric Converter - The speed of a dc motor can be varied by varying the armature voltage or the field current, for which a variable dc supply is…
