Abstract

Application of a single phase rectifier as an examplein teaching circuit modeling, normalization, operating modesof nonlinear circuits, and circuit analysis methods is proposed.The rectifier supplied from a voltage source by an inductiveimpedance is analyzed in the discontinuous as well as in thecontinuous conduction mode. Completely analytical solution forthe continuous conduction mode is derived. Appropriate numericalmethods are proposed to obtain the circuit waveforms inboth of the operating modes, and to compute the performanceparameters. Source code of the program that performs suchcomputation is provided.
