In this study, the feedback effects of a three-phase half-controlled rectifier (also known as a semiconverter) to three-phase AC power grid was analyzed. Special attention was paid to the identification of harmonic order of the phase current. As a reference point for analysis, the mathematical model of an uncontrolled rectifier was used. The harmonic order of the phase current was identified by displaying the measurement results as well as using a mathematical model that is easily applicable, although this is unusual for harmonic analysis because it is based on time domain data. For this purpose, laboratory models of uncontrolled and half-controlled rectifiers were assembled. For both converters, the results obtained by practical laboratory measurements were compared to the mathematically obtained results, with the commutation in the mathematical model being ignored. The effects of commutation were analyzed in more detail for the laboratory model. For the semiconverter, the characteristic waveforms were studied for few different firing angles of the thyristor. Additionally, total power factor and total harmonic distortion of phase current were determined for all chosen firing angles. Finally, a comprehensive conclusion was drawn based on theoretically and practically obtained results on the appearance of even-order current harmonics, which should be taken into consideration when designing input filters and which contributes to power quality of the AC power grid.
