Line-Current harmonics resulting from ac to dc power conversion interfere with power system operation and reduce power factor, hence resulting in increasing power source unnecessarily. This study describes a 3 phase phase-controlled converter eliminating low frequency harmonics in the output by inserting notches. Notch points are calculated by Newton-raphson method, The impacts of the choppings on ac and dc sides are analyzed in the steady state. Potential applications of the study are dc motor controls, high power dc power supplies for telecommunications, static var compensators and HVDC.
