Consider an ideal single-phase voltage source supplying a rectifier load as given
in Fig. 1.6. Given a supply voltage, v(t) = 230
p
2 sin !t and source impedance is negligible,
draw the voltage and current waveforms. Express current using Fourier series. Based on that
determine the following.
1. Plot instantaneous power p(t).
2. Plot components of p(t) i.e. pactive(t); preactive(t).
3. Compute average real power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, displacement
factor (or fundamental power factor).
4. Comment upon the results in terms of VA rating and power output.

Want to measure power, P, Q, pf.
