Question

A three-phase diode bridge rectifier is feeding a constant DC current of \(100\;A\) to a highly inductive load. If three-phase, \(415\;V,\;50\;Hz\) AC source is supplying to this bridge rectifier then the rms value of the current in each diode, in ampere, is _____________.

Each diode carries100 A for120° of a360° cycle. Its RMS current is100√(120/360)=57.735 A.
