ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a rectifier, connected to an AC power network, of a drive converter which is provided with a load-end pulse-controlled rectifier is disclosed. An electronically controlled switch is electrically connected in parallel to every diode of the rectifier. The switching operations of the switches are produced in a manner synchronized with the conduction phases of the associated network-commutated phase voltages and independently of the phase voltages of the supply network. Every switching operation produced is released upon arrival of the next zero value at the rectifier end. The network-end switching operations are linked with the load-end zero values, thereby allowing switching operations to be carried out in a currentless manner.
