• Operate from 3 phase ac supply voltage.
• They provide higher dc output voltage.
• Higher dc output power.
• Higher output voltage ripple frequency.
• Filtering requirements are simplified for
smoothing out load voltage and load
current.
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
• Extensively used in high power variable

Four Quadrant Operation
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
• There are two different modes of
operation.
Circulating current free
(non circulating) mode of operation
Circulating current mode of operation
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
Non Circulating
Current Mode Of Operation
• In this mode of operation only one converter is
switched on at a time
• When the converter 1 is switched on,
For 1 < 900 the converter 1 operates in the
Rectification mode
Vdc is positive, Idc is positive and hence the
average load power Pdc is positive.
• Power flows from ac source to the load
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
• When the converter 1 is on,
For 1 > 900 the converter 1 operates
in the Inversion mode
Vdc is negative, Idc is positive and the
average load power Pdc is negative.
• Power flows from load circuit to ac
source.
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
• When the converter 2 is switched on,
For 2 < 900 the converter 2 operates in
the Rectification mode
Vdc is negative, Idc is negative and the
average load power Pdc is positive.
• The output load voltage & load current
reverse when converter 2 is on.
• Power flows from ac source to the load
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
• When the converter 2 is switched on,
For 2 > 900 the converter 2 operates in the
Inversion mode
Vdc is positive, Idc is negative and the average
load power Pdc is negative.
• Power flows from load to the ac source.
• Energy is supplied from the load circuit to the ac
supply.
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
Circulating Current
Mode Of Operation
• Both the converters are switched on at the same
time.
• One converter operates in the rectification mode
while the other operates in the inversion mode.
• Trigger angles 1 & 2 are adjusted such that (1
+ 2) = 1800
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
When 1 < 900, converter 1 operates
as a controlled rectifier. 2 is made
greater than 900 and converter 2
operates as an Inverter.
• Vdc is positive & Idc is positive and Pdc
is positive.
EE2301- POWERELECTRONICS
• When 2 < 900, converter 2 operates
as a controlled rectifier. 1 is made
greater than 900 and converter 1
operates as an Inverter.
• Vdc is negative & Idc is negative and
Pdc is positive.
