The simulation analysis of the bridge rectifier continuous operation in AC circuit

The paper deals with a nonlinear model of the full–wave bridge rectifier in AC circuit with RC load for non–rigid supply system. The mathematical model of the AC circuit for this load was worked out using dimensionless variables. The model of the circuit was created and analyzed with MATLAB/Simulink. Analysis of harmonic distortions of the currents and voltages in considered circuit was carried out. Indices of power quality are described. The current–voltage characteristics for different values of capacitive load are presented. The balances active and reactive powers in the circuit were performed.
