This paper comprises the comparative
analysis of the harmonics effect of rectifier
topologies (i.e. single-pulse, two-pulse, six-
pulse and twelve-pulse) and their effect on
input supply as well as on input power factor
at different power factor using different loads.

different topologies of rectifiers. For each
configuration, the simulation would be done
through MATLAB/Simulink. The simulated
waveforms of current and voltage in case of
different loads would be obtained by taking
different firing angles and then correlate the
effectiveness of different model and its
configurations. Due to switching operations of
AC-DC converters non-linearity is produced
in the input current due to which harmonics
are generated [6] which not only disturb the
performance of converters but also quality of
input power system is badly affected. The Fig. 2. Input Current and Voltage with R load at

It can be seen that keeping all parameters The results of six pulse rectifier for
same, current harmonics in resistive-inductive resistive-inductive load are shown in above
load is reduced than resistive load as shown in table. The relationship of input power factor
Fig. 25. with firing angle is also demonstrate in Fig. 27.
6. Conclusion
From the comparison of above results and
relationship of higher pulses with THD it can
be concluded that as we move towards the
higher pulses, the THD at the input is
decreased or simply the input supply distortion
decreases with the increase in the number of
pulses. Another advantage is that filter size
will reduce and filter losses will be minimized
as we move towards higher pulses rectifiers.
