Abstract

This paper proposes a new three-phase diode rectifier that actively shapes the input current by means of two direct current dc-dc converters operating at continuous conduction mode. The proposed approach draws sinusoidai input current at unity power factor and has output voltage regulation capability. The size and weight of the magnetic devices is reduced since a low-kilovolt-ampere three-phase autotransformer is incorporated and dc outputs of two bridges are directly connected without using low-frequency interphase transformers (IPTs).
