Abstract

A new self-commutated AC–DC converter is proposed based on the reinjection of multilevel DC pulses via the mid-point of the series double-bridge converter using a GTO-switched multitapped single-phase transformer. The ideal reinjection waveform for complete elimination of the harmonic content of the AC-side current is derived and a practical approximation proposed to increase the pulse number of double-bridge converters to any multiple of 12. A 60-pulse configuration is analysed in detail to show effectiveness on both the AC and DC sides of the converter.
