This book presents digested results of numerous research papers published in the last fifteen years in the area of current injection based rectifiers. The book opens with a discussion of principles of the current injection, followed by an analysis of various magnetic current injection devices. Several current injection networks that provide the optimal current injection are proposed, and some parasitic effects are discussed. Subsequent chapters cover various approaches to current injection and recovery of power, and in a concluding chapter the results are generalized to three-phase full-bridge thyristor rectifiers. The book will be particularly useful to people involved in design or research involving low-harmonic three-phase rectifiers.

Focuses on the reduction of the input current harmonic content in three-phase diode bridge rectifiers Presents detailed analysis of the current injection method Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
