Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental measurements of the response of single and three-phase diode rectifiers excited by injecting a small perturbing current generated by a switching converter. Results show that the rectifiers are sensitive to the perturbing current, that the response is measurable and that there is an algebraic relationship among the rectifier current frequency components.
