Features

The Warsaw Rectifier provides the following features:

  • Unity power factor [3]
  • Three-wire input, which does not require a connection to the neutral wire
  • Ohmic behaviour
  • Controlled output voltage
  • Simple control scheme
  • Low power losses

Unique features of the Warsaw Rectifier:

  • Short circuits do not cause current to flow through switches
  • No cross-short circuiting of switches possible
  • Dead time is not required

Topology

The Warsaw rectifier is a unidirectional, three-phase, three-switch two-level pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier. This topology uses three insulated-gate field-effect transistors (IGFET) and eighteen diodes. The bidirectional switches (composed of four diodes and one IGFET circuit) are connected in a delta topology. The rectifier output does not require a divided DC-link circuit as required in the Vienna rectifier topology.[4][5]
