Question

A single-phase full bridge diode rectifier is supplied from 230 V, 50 Hz sinusoidal source. The load comprises of R=20 Ω and large inductance such that load current is constant. The value of input supply power factor will be

Solution

Average value of output voltage,
V0=2Vmπ=2×2×230π=207.07V

Average load current,

I0=V0R=207.0720=10.35A

Input source current, Is=I0ππ=I0=10.35A

Input source rms voltage,
Vs=230V

Input power factor =V0I0VsIs=207.07×10.35230×10.35=0.9 lagging
