Three-Phase AC-DC Converters with Passive, Active and Hybrid Current Injection Circuits - Part II

AC-DC Three-phase converters are highly well known for having enhanced power quality with unity displacement power factor, low total harmonic pollution on the AC side, and controllable DC output with unidirectional or bidirectional power flow. The second part of this paper presents a review of several three-phase AC-DC converters with active current injection circuits, including some hybrid configurations, detailing their respective topologies and characteristics.
