Abstract
In 12-pulse and 18-pulse AC/DC converter systems a single wye connected auto transformer using appropriate segments of voltage from each phase connected in fork fashion is used to develop 6-phase and 9-phase voltages in a symmetrical manner such that inherent compensation is made for the dc converter output voltage to be within 4.2% of that of a 6-pulse converter. Additional design adjustments for step-up or step-down of voltage can be made without compromising the transformer symmetry. An unconnected but closed delta winding provides a path in which third harmonic currents, and multiples thereof can flow.
