Full wave rectifier with RC Load

AI Thread Summary
Modeling a full wave single-phase thyristor-controlled rectifier with a parallel resistor and capacitor load is challenging, particularly in calculating the average output DC voltage. The capacitor charges quickly to the supply voltage when the thyristor fires, which requires consideration of di/dt protection for both the thyristor and the capacitor. There is a lack of readily available resources or examples that address this specific configuration. Understanding the dynamics of the circuit is essential for accurate modeling and analysis. Proper design will ensure the stability and performance of the rectifier circuit.

Hi, I am trying to model a full wave single phase thyristor controlled rectifier feeding a resistor and capacitor in parallel (like a power supply I believe where the capacitor is used for smoothing?) and I would like to calculate the average output dc voltage in a similar fashion as for a resistive or RL load but I cannot seem to find a book with the equation or even the integral to be solved. Is this possible as I am struggling to find examples of it already being done?

oops i answered the wrong question deleted.

Resistor and capacitor in parallel?

Think about it ,

The capacitor will charge immediately to the supply voltage at instant thyristor fires... you'll need di/dt protect the thyristor and maybe the capacitor too..

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
