The controllers are complemented by the NCP1566 DC-DC Controller, the FDMC8622 Single MOSFET and the FDMQ8203 and FDMQ8205A GreenBridge Quad MOSFETs, which have been developed to provide a more efficient alternative to a diode bridge in PoE applications.
Thus, the voltage at the output of the diode bridge can be constant or rectified, but in any case, the voltage reduction due to its drop in the bridge diodes should be taken into account, which can be especially significant when powered from the network of ultra-low voltage: [u.sub.0] = [absolute value of u] - 2 x [u.sub.d]([i.sub.B]).
BLDC motor is connected after the diode bridge rectifier (DBR) and DC link capacitor.
The converter was supplied from the simple rectifier consisting of a three phase diode bridge and a large electrolytic capacitor.
The proposed converter output voltage is accomplished via four paralleled six - pulse ac-dc converters each of them consisting of 3-phase diode bridge rectifier.
The 40-pulse topology [23] was designed for VCIMD's loads having a THD variation of 2.23% to 3.85% from full-load to light-load (20% of full-load) respectively which is more than 3% when operating at light load, and the dc link voltage is higher than that of a 6-pulse diode bridge rectifier, thus making the scheme non-applicable for retrofit applications.
