Abstract

This letter proposes a parallel-connected 24-pulse rectifier using a hybrid harmonic reduction method at the dc side. The proposed rectifier contains an unconventional interphase reactor (UIPR) with a double-tapped primary winding and secondary winding connected pulsewidth modulation converter. The proposed method is a combination of the passive and active harmonic method. From the viewpoint of total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input line current, ripple load voltage, and kilovoltampere rating of the active auxiliary circuit, the UIPR and active injecting current are optimally designed. An experimental prototype is developed to verify the theoretical analysis. The experimental THD is about 2.87%, which shows good performance of harmonic reduction.
