The instantaneous voltage wave-form of a 3-\(\phi\) fully controlled rectifier with R-L load is more negative and less positive when the firing angle ‘α’ lies between
Show Hint
In 3-\(\phi\) full converters with R-L loads, more negative voltage appears for higher firing angles beyond 120°.
In a 3-phase fully controlled rectifier with an R-L load:
- As the firing angle \( \alpha \) increases, the average output voltage decreases.
- Beyond \( \alpha = 120^\circ \), the output voltage waveform starts including more negative portions due to delayed conduction.
- Between \( 120^\circ \) and \( 150^\circ \), the waveform becomes more negative and less positive.
