1.0 INTRODUCTION: The material in this brochure is intended to provide theoretical and
technical design specifications for the power factor correction and harmonic filters of a 12pulse rectifier system comprising of two six-pulse rectifiers connected according to ANSI 4546 configuration. All design information are developed to support the feasibility of compliance
to a client specifications based on expected manufacturing requirements as well as the authors
past projects of similar complexity. Allowances must be made for deviations from the design
data herein, if and when deemed necessary to comply with client specifications.
2.0 RECTIFIER MODEL: Figure 2.1 is a schematic diagram of a 12-pulse rectifier system in
ANSI 45-46 configuration. Typical current waveforms are shown in Figure 2.2. All quantities
are in P.U. or percent. One P.U. equals 100% with respect to nominal quantities.
3.0 HARMONIC FILTER: Each rectifier system includes a separate harmonic trap network
installed at the primary of the rectifier transformer. A four stage harmonic trap as shown in Fig
3.1 is selected to meet the clients performance specifications. The unique filter configuration
is optimized to maintain the power factor at above 95% over the range of DC voltage
from maximum to 10% of nominal value as depicted in Figure 4.1. The THD (Total
Harmonic Distortion) of the line current remains below 5% during this range of control. A
typical current and voltage waveform is shown in Figure 3.2 where the voltage and currents
before and after filter are compared. The rectifier input current distortion and voltage
commutation notches are eliminated (or attenuated) through the filter. A full spectrum analysis
is presented in section 4.0.
4.0 TECHNICAL DATA: A proprietary computer simulation program is used to calculate the
harmonics and power factor of the rectifier system under different load conditions. Table 4.1
lists the performance data at different DC voltage levels along with the trap KVAR settings.
The automatic power factor correction is used to switch the right combination of the traps and
capacitor banks to maintain the power factor above 95% and the current distortion below 5%.
Individual components of the harmonics are to meet IEE-519 standards.
Figures 4.2 to 4.10 show the waveforms for currents and voltages and their respective harmonic
frequency spectrum. The following nomenclature is used:
: Phase delay or firing angle of the rectifier in degrees
: Commutation overlap angle in degrees
VDC: Average DC output voltage of rectifier in %
I_fund: Fundamental value of line current in % of nominal
