Abstract: A full-wave bridge rectifier is one of the most often used non-linear load. A main area of it using are single-phase power suppliers which constitute part of the most of electronic devices. These devices may be found in commercial and communal sectors of electric energy consumers. Power consumption of that devices is not large, however large number of it is working simultaneously in the power system may cause that the total effect of voltage disturbances in the power system is significant. For the purpose of investigation of the phenomena in the system, propagations of higher harmonics and the reactive power analysis, the model enabling the simulation of the circuit with the full-wave rectifier bridge supplied from AC voltage source by the additional inductance was worked out. The non-linear model of the bridge rectifier was proposed. The simulation and the preliminary analysis of instantaneous waveforms of currents and voltages were performed in the continuous mode of rectifier operation.
