  • In a three-phase half-wave rectifier, each diode conducts for a duration of 120°.
  • In a three-phase half-wave rectifier, the input AC voltage is a three-phase AC voltage, which consists of three AC voltages that are 120° out of phase with each other.
  • The three-phase AC voltage is applied to three diodes, one for each phase, to rectify the AC voltage.
  • During each half-cycle of the input AC voltage, only one diode conducts, while the other two are reverse-biased.
  • The conducting diode allows the current to flow in one direction through the load.
  • Since the input AC voltage is a three-phase AC voltage, each diode conducts for a duration of 120° (i.e., one-third of the input AC voltage period).
