Part 2 - Single-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 and L= 40 mH

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

Table 8: Effect 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?
