Using thyristor and thyristor-diode a.c. choppers causes distortion of currents and voltages in electrical power networks. In this paper the currents in three-phase, three-wire circuits with thyristor and thyristor-diode a.c. choppers are analysed, making allowances for asymmetrical phase-angle triggering. The computation results of the extinction angles versus firing angles, phase shift angles of the load and degree of asymmetry are shown. The d.c. and harmonic components of the current waveforms were calculated by applying Fourier analysis. The computation results of the magnitudes, which are characteristic of deformed waveforms are also presented.

Übersicht

Der Einsatz von Thyristoren und Thyristordioden verursacht Verzerrungen von Strömen und Spannungen in elektrischen Versorgungsnetzen. In diesem Beitrag werden Stromverläufe in Drehstromnetzen unter Berücksichtigung unsymmetrischer Ansteuerung durch Thyristoren analysiert. Die errechneten Abhängigkeiten des Löschwinkels von der Phasenlage der Last und der Unsymmetrie der Ansteuerung werden dargestellt. Mit Hilfe der Fourieranalyse werden Gleichstromanteil und Oberschwingungen der Ströme ermittelt. Berechnet und dargestellt werden auch andere Größen, die für nichtlinear verzerrte Vorgänge charakteristisch sind.
