Abstract: The purpose of this project was to investigate the effect of a three phase thyristor controlled bridge rectifier on the ac supply current. The harmonic content of the current input into the rectifier was calculated and analyzed mathematically. The results obtained were compared to those achieved from a rectifier setup for this purpose. Reference to the limits in the current harmonics stipulated by the IEC 555-2 standard was made. It was established that such converters violate these harmonics.
