A six-pulse rectifier circuit includes a rectifier bridge, with six valves, arranged in the secondary circuit of a three phase transformer having an increased internal resistance and shunted by a load resistor arrangement for sensing the actual value voltage for use in a fast control device with the resistance of the load resistor arrangement matched to the increased internal resistance of the transformer, so that at least three but no more than four of the six valves are always commutating.
