Abstract Involvement of software in teaching is provide a batter support, more clear and visual operation of
complex circuits and waveforms to the faculty of power electronics in classroom teaching. The software
packages available for simulation of power electronic circuits are MATLAB, PSPICE and PSIM and many
more. Use of the software in classroom teaching is provide an additional support to the faculty and its better
then the time consuming black board practice. This paper provides a case study of power electronics circuits in
PSIM software. Different power electronics converters model are prepared on PSIM software and generate
simulation waveforms. This paper is helpful for the faculty of electrical engineering to find the applications of
PSIM in teaching.
When voltage is applied in the reverse direction through a flow. Different diodes have different characteristics when
diode, the diode will have a great resistance to current reverse-biased.
3.3. Three Phase Diode Bridge Rectifiers their lower ripple content in the waveforms and a higher
power-handling capability. The 3-phase, 6-pulse, full
In industrial applications where three-phase ac voltages bridge diode rectifier is commonly used circuit
are available, it is preferable to use three-phase rectifier arrangement. A filter capacitor is connected at the dc side
circuits, compared to single-phase rectifiers, because of of the rectifier.
3.4. Thyristor Converters controlled by delaying the instants at which the thyristors
are allowed to start conduction.
For given ac input voltages, the magnitude of the
average output voltage in thyristor converters can be
