Abstract
Amzad Ali Sarkar and Sadia Sultana Turna
Domestic appliances nowadays are equipped with inverter technology that reduces energy consumption and lowers the bill users are charged with. Modern homes are loaded with electrical appliances that are an essential part of daily life. The higher number of appliances needs high power. Appliances with an inverter technology make use of single-phase rectifier circuits. A simply designed three-phase rectifier circuit can produce a higher value of DC level than a single-phase rectifier circuit. The paper discussed a comparative study between two simple rectifier schemes and used simulation to show the better performance of three-phase circuits while delivering high power to loads. The loads considered in this study are domestic loads where load fluctuation almost does not occur. Complex control schemes along the rectifier arrangement were also eliminated to simplify the approach. The discussion concludes the acceptable and satisfactory outcome at a low cost and with ease in all aspects of designing, installation, maintenance and sustenance.
