THE FACTS: TRANSFORMER BASED

High input current distortion (> 30%) Addition of input filters or 12 pulse rectifiers is expensive, space consuming and decreases efficiency further to < 90% Low input power factor; 0.6 to 0.86 depending on load

Slow switching controlled rectifier may cause incompatibility with other equipment. Emergency generator must be oversized. High output impedance (typ. 8%) - poor dynamic response and additional corrective circuits required for unbalanced loads Higher inherent Output distortion with non-linear loads Switching elements switch on at full load current; increased stress
