Abstract:
The paper proposes a new uncontrolled single-phase rectifier, which does not inject inadmissible current harmonics in the AC mains. Such a rectifier does not necessitate on the AC side classic passive filters or active filters and on the DC side boost choppers. The functioning stages of the proposed converter as well as its characteristics are established and, on this basis, design considerations are commented. Finally, possible application of these converters are presented.
