Hello all,

In the STDES-30KWVRECT Vienna Rectifier power circuit, 

1. Relation between Q1 and Q2 switching pulses are IN-PHASE, likewise I want to know, How Q1 and Q3 switching pulses are related ?

2. What PWM technique is used to generate switching pulses for Vienna Rectifier  STDES-30KWVRECT ?

Unfortunately ST seems to try to hide some things. But since this project is an implementation of the "Vienna rectifier", the concepts can be found in other sources:

The Vienna Rectifier is a pulse-width modulation rectifier, invented in 1993 by Johann W. Kolar.

Another project that seems to have a lot more reference material is this one:

Description
The Vienna rectifier power topology is used in high-power, three-phase power factor correction applications such as offboard electric vehicle (EV) chargers and telecom rectifiers. Control design of the rectifier can be complex. This TI Design illustrates a method to control the power stage using C2000™ microcontroller (MCU). The hardware and software available with this design helps accelerate the time to market.

Thanks for the reply.

But,

we need answer to the mentioned doubt for our implementation and it is appreciable,

Relation between Q1 and Q2 switching pulses are IN-PHASE, likewise I want to know, How Q1 and Q3 switching pulses are related ?
