The Vienna Rectifier is a unidirectional three-phase AC/DC converter of boost-type with sinusoidal input currents and controlled output voltage. It only employs three power switches which makes the Vienna Rectifier immune against short-circuit of the DC-link, cost-effective and reduces the blocking voltage of all its semiconductors by a factor two. It was invented by Prof. Kolar, ETH Zurich. Find more information on www.ipes.ethz.ch.

What are the advantages of Vienna rectifier?

The Vienna rectifier offers several advantages, including high efficiency due to its ability to reduce conduction losses, which makes it suitable for applications requiring energy savings. It also provides a compact design with fewer components, leading to reduced size and weight. Additionally, the Vienna rectifier can handle a wide input voltage range, making it versatile for various power systems. Its ability to produce low total harmonic distortion (THD) enhances the quality of the output power.

How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?

Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.


What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?

Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.


How can capacitor smooth or reduce the ripple of the voltage produced by the rectifier?

when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.

Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.


Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?

For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
