AC-to-DC Rectifier LAB3 - Panel
When starting the demo, the panel in figure 21 appears first with the default settings.
Figure 21: Start-Up Panel of the Three-Phase Thyristor Bridge Rectifier Laboratory
For operation of the three-phase thyristor bridge rectifier panel, the student can refer to the panel operation of the single-phase diode bridge rectifier, because the panels of both models are very similar.
The differences in content of scopes, control parameters and buttons, and contents of displays are presented in tables 16 to 19.
Control Parameters | Default Value | Interval of Variation |
|---|---|---|
AC Source Voltage (V) | 120 | [0; 200] |
Firing Angle (Deg) | 0 | 0; 120] |
AC Source Frequency (Hz) | 60 | 50 or 60 |
Table 16: Control Parameters of the Three-Phase Thyristor Bridge Rectifier
Control Buttons | Associated Functions | |
|---|---|---|
Trigger | 
| The waveforms are not triggered. They “move”. |
| The waveforms are triggered with respect to a reference signal. | |
Data Acq. |
| Data acquisition is disabled. |
| Data acquisition is enabled and allows to record .mat files for offline studies, in particular harmonic analysis. | |
Fuse
| | The protection fuse is blown. |
| The protection fuse is intact. | |
HELP/BACK | | Open the Help page, where a summary of three-phase thyristor bridge rectifier is shown. |
| Close the Help page and go back to the simulations. | |
Switch |
| AC Source frequency, 50 or 60 Hz. |

Table 18: Content of Scopes and Displayed Waveforms in Three-Phase Thyristor Bridge Rectifier
Six displays are shown on the panel.
They are located below the scopes.
From left to right they are identified as Display1, Display2, Display3, Display4, Display5, and Display6.
Display | Content of Displays |
|---|---|
Display1 | AC-source power (W) |
Display2 | Load power (W) |
Display3 | Fundamental of AC-source current (A) |
Display4 | THD of AC-source current (%) |
Display5 | Mean of load current (A) |
Display6 | Mean of load voltage (V) |
