A harmonic distortion control technique applied to six-pulse bridge converters

A practical design approach for controlling power system harmonics through the use of transformer connections applied to a distributed set of six-pulse bridge power converter type loads in industrial power distribution systems is presented. Some common system problems associated with harmonic distortion from six-pulse type converters are defined. A method for reducing harmonic distortion through the use of transformer bank connections to allow for harmonic cancellation is presented.<
