Part 2 - Three-phase Diode Bridge Rectifier - Inductive Load

Page Content

Exercise 3: Varying Inductive Load

In the panel, choose under Pre-Selected: Single Phase: Varying Inductive Load without smoothing capacitor.

Now, the resistance (R) is in series with an inductance (L).

Default Parameters

  • AC Source Voltage : Ve= 120 V
  • Frequency: 60 Hz
  • R= 25 Ω, L=40 mH

Complete the following table with the many values of inductance (L).

Table 14: Impact of Varying Inductive Load

Calculate the average current.

What is the effect of the inductance on the load current?

What is the effect of increasing the inductance on the THD of the AC-source current?
