PWM RECTIFIER

• A PWM rectifier (Pulse Width


Modulated Rectifier) is an AC to DC
converter that uses active switching
devices (like IGBTs or MOSFETs)
and PWM control techniques to

APPLICATIONS

Electric Vehicle Charging:


Single-phase PWM rectifiers are used
in electric vehicle charges to
efficiently convert AC power to DC
power for battery charging. They can
also be used in bidirectional power
flow applications, enabling the vehicle
to feed energy back to the grid.
APPLICATIONS

High-Speed Railway Traction


Drives:
PWM rectifiers are used in high-speed
railway electrical traction drives
systems. The combination of single-
phase rectifier, a DC-link and a three-
phase inverter allows for efficient
power conversion and control in these
demanding applications.
OTHER APPLICATIONS

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): To provide


backup power during outages.
• SMPSs in Computers: As part of the power supply unit.
• Battery Chargers: To charger various types of batteries.
• Motor Drives: For controlling the speed and torque of
AC motors.
