Output voltage parameters of diode rectifiers such as mean and root mean square (RMS) value are decisive for proper operation of DC systems fed from these rectifiers. It is necessary to know these parameters for the assessment of the operation conditions of these systems. In the paper a formula for the output voltage of three-phase diode rectifiers fed by asymmetrical voltages is derived. The derivation of a universal formula for an output voltage mean value of n-phase diode rectifiers with the use of the mathematical induction method is also presented.
