How can we find the average and rms value of 3phase half wave rectifier?

I know that the answer for the average value is \(\frac{3sqrt(3)V_m}{2pi}\\) which is approximately 0.827Vm.

My attempt to solve this problem is:

\(\[
\left[ {\frac{3}{{2\pi }}} \right]\left[ {\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{3}} {\cos \omega td\omega t} + \int_{\frac{\pi }{3}}^{\frac{{2\pi }}{3}} {\sin \omega td\omega t} } \right] = (1 + \frac{{\sqrt ( 3)}}{2})\left( {\frac{3}{2\pi}} \right)
\]\)

which is obviously incorrect..
I suspect that the period that i got is wrong.. thanks..

PS: Sorry for my crappy LaTex

oh, sorry, i got it.. i made a mistake, i overlooked that the sine function i integrated is phase shifted by pi/6.. :D i got the correct answer after doing this correction..
