The proposed solutions are named MF-Vienna PWM rectifiers (with M=2 and 3).
These increasing newly emerged loads can be found from household applications with low-current rectifiers to metal industries with very high-current rectifiers [13].
Full-wave rectifiers show the possibility of parallel connection of several converters in the IPOP modular structure.
3(b)), the dc load is divided by 2 ([R.sub.L] = 1.5 k[ohm]) in comparison with the single rectifier. The dc currents flowing in the two rectifiers are different except in the case of a balanced RF power on each access.
