II CONTROLLED RECTIFIER

The figure 3 bellow represents a single phase bridge (thyristors diode) rectifier supplied by the secondary of transformer whose transformation ration is m = 0.5 and the primary is 220V; 50Hz. This bridge is used to control a load composed of a dc motor (E, R) in series with a smoothing inductance L which allows the load current to be constant.
