The Vienna rectifier is a unidirectional three-phase three-switch three-level pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier. It can be seen as a three-phase diode bridge with an integrated boost converter. OverviewThe Vienna rectifier is a AC rectifier, invented in 1993 by Johann W. Kolar at .
The Vienna rectifier provides the following features: • three-level three-switch PWM with controlled output voltage • Three-wire input, no connection to neutral. .
The Vienna rectifier is useful wherever six-switch converters are used for achieving sinusoidal mains current and controlled output voltage, when no energy feedback from the load into the mains is available. In practice, us. .
Figure 3 shows the system behaviour, calculated using the power-electronics circuit simulator. Between the output voltage midpoint (0) and the mains midpoint (M) the common mode voltage u0M appears, a.
