1.4.3 Multi-pulse rectifier.

The other already power electronics techniques is use of multi-pulse rectifiers. Although easy to implement, possess several disadvantages such as: bulky and heavy transformer, increased voltage drop, and increased harmonic currents at non-symmetrical load or line voltages.
