1. A document from Concordia University assigns a power electronics problem set due on October 13, 2015 involving analyzing single-phase and three-phase AC-DC converters supplying a 5 kW inductive load. Students are asked to calculate the voltage and current ratings of the converter diodes, losses in the source impedances, and voltage drops across the impedances. 2. The second problem involves designing an AC-DC converter to supply 400V to the field winding of a DC machine using a three-phase source, transformer, and diode rectifier. Students are tasked with calculating the transformer turns ratio and apparent power, and then determining the minimum and maximum firing angles of a thyristor converter used to regulate the

Assignment #2: AC-DC converters
Due date: October 13 2015 at NOON in the mailbox of Dr. Lopes (EV5.175).

1) One wishes to supply 5 kW to a highly inductive DC load. There is a 4-wire 220VLL, 60 Hz three-phase source
with impedances of Rs = 0.1 and Ls = 100 H available at the site. Thus, it is possible to use either a singlephase or a three-phase AC-DC converter connected as shown in the figure below. The breakers were included and
controlled so that the single-phase is supplied from t = 0s to 1.5s and the three-phase from 1.5s to 2s. The load
impedances of the 2 converters where computed so that one obtains rated load power (5kW) with the average
output/load voltage one gets when neglecting the voltage drops in the line impedances. Compute: A) The current
(RMS and average) and the voltage (peak) ratings of the diodes of both AC-DC converters, neglecting the voltage
drop across the source impedance; B) The total ohmic power losses on the impedances of the source due to the
single-phase and the three-phase converters; C) The voltage drop (fundamental component) across the
impedances of the source, due to the input currents of the single-phase and three-phase converters. Note: The
PSIM circuit is available on the course web site for additional tests.

2) The field winding of a DC machine, with resistance of 2 and an inductance of 32mH, is to be fed with 400 V,
using a three-phase 220 VLL/60 Hz source a Y:Y transformer and a diode rectifier, all assumed ideal. A)
Considering that the grid voltage does not vary much, compute the turns ratio of the transformer as well as its
(total) apparent power (S3= 3S1). Recall that in this case, the harmonic components of the input current of the
AC-DC converter need to be taken into consideration. Now, assume that the grid voltage can vary by +/- 10 %
and that a thyristor AC-DC converter is used for regulating the load voltage at 400 V using the same transformer.
B) what would be the minimum and maximum values of firing angle () and when would they be used, (Vsmax or
Vsmin)? C) For Vs = Vsmax, compute the active and the reactive powers absorbed by the AC-DC converter.
