A Circular Phase Shifting Transformer for Multi-Pulse Rectifier

This paper designed a 3/12 phase circular phase shifting transformer applied to multi-pulse rectifier. The transformer is built by using rotating magnetic field principle, and the ferromagnetic structure is similar to an induction motor. Compared with the general column iron core phase shifting transformer, the circular phase shifting transformer has the advantages of compact structure, more symmetric magnetic circuit, and the design of primary and secondary winding is more simple. This paper established the mathematical model of the circular shifting transformer, the voltage equations are derived. Then analysis the inhibitory effect of harmonic wave in 24 pulse rectifier. Verify the feasibility of the circular phase shifting transformer through the experiment, when the circular phase shifting transformer is applied to multi-pulse rectifier, it is effective to suppress the harmonic wave of the Power grid.
