Abstract

The purpose of this work is to implement at laboratory a full-controlled AC-DC test bench operating as a modified bridge and a conventional bridge, considering for both bridge the same average DC output voltage criterion. Furthermore, the performance of the test bench can be verified by checking the consistency of the experimental results between the modified bridge and the conventional bridge, as well as the consistency of the experimental results of these bridges with their theoretical values and digital simulations. It is expected the test bench can be applied for didactic and research purposes as well as for industrial applications.
