QUESTION 8 When connecting any electrical AC generator to an electrical grid, the frequency, phase, and...
Variable frequency electronic generation of sinusoids first requires the grid AC to be rectified into DC. Next the DC is converted to high f AC by an inverter circuit. The entire process is at 95% efficiency. Below you are required to refresh your understanding of AC to DC rectifiers. Diode rectifiers are non-linear loads so grid power factor and harmonic generation are again a consideration. The total power factor is composed of two parts: the distortion power factor due to...
