Abstract
Current source rectifier (CSR) systems and methods for a power source including three phase lines are disclosed. One illustrative CSR system includes a rectifier operable to receive an AC input voltage and provide a DC output voltage and a controller communicatively coupled to the rectifier. The rectifier comprises first, second, and third phase legs including a plurality of switches with each switch coupled to an associated phase line of the three phase lines. The controller is operable to (i) control operation of the plurality of switches in accordance with a first switching sequence when measured input voltages on at least two phase lines of the three phase lines are outside of the predetermined voltage range and (ii) control operation of the plurality of switches in accordance with a second switching sequence when the measured input voltages on the at least two phase lines are within the predetermined voltage range.
