Dynamic Behaviour of the Healthy Rectifier

The enlargement of Fig. 8.40b shows that the length of the time period diode D4 is on corresponds to InI h while the diode is off for a time period corresponding to 43t/3 (Fig. 8.41). Furthermore, in the case of a pure resistive load R, the maximum of a diode current equals V3 1.73 x 100 V/50 Q. = 3.46 A. For a rectifier 

In the following, two fault scenarios are studied. In both cases, the single fault hypothesis is adopted. Names of faulty quantities carry a tilde to distinguish them from names of their faultless counterparts. In figures, this is expressed by preceding names with the letter t .
