Abstract

The invention relates to a rectifying circuit comprising a bridge connection with RC protected thyristors, a direct voltage circuit with capacitance and a charging circuit containing a diode ( 3 ) or a corresponding component for charging the capacitance of the direct voltage circuit. According to the invention, a resistance, which comprises one or more resistors ( 4 ), of the RC protection of the thyristors is located in the charging circuit.

Claims (5)

1. A rectifying circuit comprising a bridge connection with RC protected thyristors, a RC protection of each said RC protected thyristor comprising series-connected capacitor and resistor in parallel with said RC protected thyristor, the rectifying circuit further comprising a direct voltage circuit with capacitance and a charging circuit containing a rectifying component arranged for charging the capacitance of the direct voltage circuit, wherein said RC protection resistor of each said RC protected thyristor is connected in series with said rectifying component.

2. A rectifying circuit according to claim 1 , wherein there is exactly one resistor connected in series with said rectifying component, said one resistor thereby functioning as the RC protection resistor for each said RC protected thyristor.

3. A rectifying circuit according to claim 1 , wherein said rectifying component is a diode.

4. A rectifying circuit according to claim 2 , wherein said rectifying component is a diode.

5. A frequency converter assembly comprising a rectifying circuit according to claim 1 , wherein said direct voltage circuit is an intermediate direct voltage circuit of the frequency converter assembly.
