4. Transformer utilisation factor (TUF) should be as low as possible (nearer to unity)
Pulse Number
The number of pulsations or ripples of dc voltage per cycle of ac voltage is known as pulse number of a converter. p = qrs Higher pulse number results in
Pulse Number
lesser harmonics generated, both on ac side as well as dc side.
Pulse Number
lesser harmonics generated, both on ac side as well as dc side. higher output dc voltage level
Pulse Number
lesser harmonics generated, both on ac side as well as dc side. higher output dc voltage level easy design of lters
Pulse Number
lesser harmonics generated, both on ac side as well as dc side. higher output dc voltage level easy design of lters increase in the number of valves employed for conversion (increases cost)
Valve Utilisation Factor

Valve Utilisation Factor (VUF) is given by VUF = P IV Vd0 (1)
P IV is the Peak Inverse Voltage - low value preferred, given by 2Em if q is even (2) P IV = if q is odd 2Em cos 2q Vd0 is the average dc voltage when = 0 , and is given by Vd0 = sq Em sin q (3)
Valve Utilisation Factor

2 sq sin P IV q = Vd0 sq sin 2q if q is even (4) if q is odd
Vd0 E
d0 The ratio VE gives the ratio of average output dc voltage to the input rms ac voltage. It is always preferable to have this value as high as possible. Vd0 2qs = sin (5) E q
Transformer Utilisation Factor

TUF is dened as the ratio of transformer rating (of the valve side) to the dc output power. A low value of TUF is preferred. Pt TUF = (6) Vd0 Id The current rating of the transformer is given by Id It = r q The transformer rating is Em Em Id Pt = p It = p r 2q 2 Thus TUF =

From the table it can be seen that sl. no. 1 and 3 are suitable, but TUF is better for sl. no. 3. Since 3 phase supply is used, the ease of connection is an added advantage in using sl. no. 3.
