TLDR
In this article, it was shown that at larger angles of overlap an inherent delay angle, introduced by a-c reactance common to two or more simple rectifiers, reduces the direct voltage and thereby increases the voltage regulation.Abstract:
CONVENTIONAL METHODS of calculating rectifier voltage regulation are valid only if the angle of overlap is less than 360 degrees divided by the number of phases. At larger angles of overlap an inherent delay angle, introduced by a-c reactance common to two or more simple rectifiers, reduces the direct voltage and thereby increases the voltage regulation. This phenomenon has been described in two papers,1, 2 recently presented to the Institute, in which curves and equations for determining voltage regulation of 6-phase rectifiers were given. Two earlier articles5, 4 recognized the phenomenon in 6-phase circuits.read more

Geometric description of bridge rectifier operational modes using regular polygons
TL;DR: In this article, the AC line currents in idealised 3-phase bridge rectifier systems trace out regular polygons and this fact is used to derive a geometric visualisation of rectifier operation and to explain operational modes in 6-and 12-pulse rectifiers from a geometric point of view.
