Question: The 1 2 - pulse diode rectifier shown in Fig. 3 , is supplied from a 4 0 0 V ( line to line )

The 12-pulse diode rectifier shown in Fig. 3, is supplied from a 400 V (line to line),50 Hz ac power supply and feeds a large smoothing inductor in series with a resistive load. Neglect the forward voltage drops in the diodes. The load draws a constant DC current of 50 A. Assuming transformer-1 has a turns ratio of NT1_Y1/NT1_Y2=1:1 and transformer-2 has a turns ratio of N T2_1/N T2_Y2=3:1 :
(i) Measure the input power factor of the 12 pulse converter as well as the input power
factor of Bridge-1, comment on the difference of the measured results.
