Modular multipulse transformer Rectifier for use in multi-level power converters

摘要

In one embodiment, a system may include a plurality of transformers each providing an output to one or more power cells, wherein the power cells of a load provide AC power. Each transformer may include at least one primary winding and a plurality of secondary windings, the primary winding of each transformer being out of phase with respect to its adjacent transformers, and the secondary windings also being out of phase. The phase shift of the primary winding may be based on the phase shift of the secondary windings and a number of the plurality of transformers.
