Twelve pulse converter: It is clear from the preceding discussion that increasing the pulse number to six greatly improves the performance of the converter. The ac line current has only odd harmonics and the value…

Six Pulse Converter with Interphase Transformer: The basic connection of a Six Pulse Converter with Interphase Transformer is shown in Fig. 3.38. This is obtained by connecting two three pulse converters in parallel on the…

Six pulse bridge converter: The conduction time of a thyristor in a six pulse connection can be increased when the converter is obtained by a series or parallel connection of two three-pulse midpoint converters. A…

Six pulse midpoint converter: The converter transformer converts the existing three phase system to a six phase one, since it has six secondary windings. The Six pulse midpoint converter connections are shown in Fig. 3.32.…

Three pulse midpoint converter: These are basically three-phase converters, and are very popular because a 3-phase supply is readily available. 3-phase converters have a greater power capability than single phase converters. With these converters the…

Two pulse bridge converter: A two pulse bridge converter is achieved as shown in Fig. 3.22 from two midpoint converters. They are connected in series on the dc side and in parallel on the ac…

Two pulse mid point converter: Two pulse mid point converter are, in general, single phase converters. The pulse number of the converter indicates the frequency of the ripple voltage superimposing the average dc voltage at…

Phase Controlled Line Commutated Converters: In these Phase Controlled Line Commutated Converters, the commutation voltage, i.e. the voltage required to transfer current from one thyristor to the other, is provided by the supply lines to…

Electric Converter: Electric Converter - The speed of a dc motor can be varied by varying the armature voltage or the field current, for which a variable dc supply is required. The speed of an…
