Abstract :
Algorithms for the numerical calculation of currents in rectifier bridges are presented. The cases dealt with are those of an R-L and R-L-C load with single-phase ac supply, and an R-L-E load with a three-phase supply. The algorithms are presented in such a form as to be easily programmed. The calculation of the currents should be useful in design since simple extensions of the programs would supply the harmonics, heat factors, and the rectified or ac currents.
