Here is the complete solution for the practical problem:

Part a) Analyse over a period the circuit diagram of figure 1

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is a three-phase half-wave uncontrolled rectifier.

• It consists of three diodes ($D_1, D_2, D_3$), each connected to one phase of the three-phase AC supply ($V_1, V_2, V_3$).
• The cathodes of the three diodes are connected together to form the positive terminal of the DC output, which is then connected to the load resistance $R_L$.
• The neutral point (N) of the three-phase supply is connected to the other
