The article presents a technology for controlling a three-switch three-phase transistor rectifier providing output voltage adjustment toward decreasing from the nominal value over a wide range in a circuit with high efficiency and a low nonlinear distortion coefficient of the consumed input current. A mathematical description of the rectifier switch control system and its operation algorithm are given. The parameters of circuit elements for a converter with a rated power of 1 kW are calculated. For analyzing the control system operation, a mathematical model of the three-switch three-phase transistor rectifier is developed in the MATLAB software system environment. By using the developed mathematical model, the regulation properties and power performance indicators have been evaluated for the proposed topology. A number of converter operating modes with active and active-inductive loads, including a 25 % power overload, have been studied. Dependences of the efficiency, losses in transistors, output power, and output voltage stabilization accuracy have been obtained. The adjustment range for ensuring high power performance indicators and limitations of implementing the circuit dynamic modes are shown. It has been determined that the converter is capable of providing output voltage regulation with high efficiency (95.0–98.3 %). An appropriate application field of the circuit as a frequency converter component to reduce the inverter output voltage pulsations and, as a consequence, to reduce the electromagnetic torque pulsations in positional and tracking electric drives, has been determined.
