Option 4 : Polarity of voltage can reverse but polarity of current cannot reverse
Quadrant operation of a rectifier:
- A 1ϕ full-wave rectifier provides two-quadrant operation, i.e. motoring action and generating action.
- The motoring action is achieved in the first quadrant for α < 90°
- The generating action is achieved in the second quadrant for α > 90°.
- In a two-quadrant converter, the polarity of voltage can be reversed for α < 90° but the polarity of current cannot be reversed.
- During the motoring action, power flows from the source to the RLE load.
- During the generating action, the polarity of back emf in RLE load gets reversed, so power starts flowing from load to source.
