Which converter is suitable for two quadrant operation?

So, the converter-2 works in the second quadrant. This operation is known as the reverse regenerative braking. The waveform of the single-phase dual converter is as shown in the below figure.

What is a quadrant converter?

A four-quadrant stage is the dedicated part of a power converter used to manage load voltage and current in the four-quadrant area. This function can be part of the converter topology (thyristor-based or H- bridge DC–DC topologies) or as a kind of extension to a standard one-quadrant power converter.

What is mean by dual converter?

Dual Converter is an Electronic Device or Circuit made by the combination of two bridges. One of them works as Rectifier(Converts A.C. to D.C.) and other bridge works as Inverter(converts D.C. into A.C.). Thus an electronic circuit or device in which two processes take place at same time, is known as Dual Converter.

Why a dual converter is called so?

One of the bridge works as a rectifier (converts AC to DC), another half bridge works as an inverter (converts DC to AC) and connected commonly to a DC load. Here two conversion processes take place simultaneously, so it is called as a dual converter.

Which is a single quadrant converter?

The one-quadrant power converters are those with the capability to provide an output in only one quadrant of a plot of output voltage versus output current. These converters have the capability to transfer energy in only one direction. Most one-quadrant converters can also be classified as DC–DC converters.

Which converter is suitable for four quadrant operation?

Dual converter in a four-quadrant dc drive. In the dual converter, one rectifier provides the positive current to the load and the other the negative current. Due to the instantaneous voltage differences between the output voltages of the converters, a circulating current flows through the bridges.
