Impact of the Ripple Output Voltage of the Bridge Rectifier on the Equivalent Parameters of the AC Circuit in Continuous Mode

The paper deals with a single - phase AC circuit containing series inductance, resistance and bridge rectifier loaded by RC elements. The continuous operation mode of rectifier is considered. Generally the basic characteristics of AC circuit supplying the bridge rectifier are related to the output quantities of rectifier, such as average voltage and current, energy efficiency and ripple voltage. Influence of ones on equivalent parameters of AC circuit have been unknown (especially the ripple output voltage). In the first step quasistatic characteristics of such circuit are presented. The influence of ripple output voltage of rectifier on AC circuit parameters is analysed. The reactive and active power of the circuit were also considered as a function of the RC load elements which determine the rectifier ripple output voltage.
