A fully controlled natural commutated 3-phase bridge rectifier is operating with a firing angle α = 30°, The peak to peak voltage ripple expressed as a ratio of the peak output dc voltage at the output of the converter bridge is
For lagging power factor = (IR*cosφ + Ixsinφ)/Vr For leading power factor = (IR*cosφ - Ixsinφ)/Vr Zero voltage regulation occurs on leading power factor only.
