Static Converter Valves and Uncontrolled Converter Circuits

Static converter valves make up the central components of power electronics. These include diodes, thyristors and triacs as well as turn-off converter valves.

Here, the typical properties of diodes, thyristors and triacs are investigatd, for example: characteristics, conducting and blocking capacity, triggering conditions, suppressor circuits and limiting values.Using diodes it is then possible to assemble and investigate all of the uncontrolled rectifier circuits connected to single and three-phase mains supplies.

Fundamental measurement techniques are developed and characteristic quantities such as mean and rms values, form factors and ripple are introduced.
