Novel family of voltage converters with low harmonic distortion using coupled reactors
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presented a novel approach to the multipulse voltage converters (VC), especially voltage source inverters (VSI) and matric converters (MC) based on several typical identical modules connected in parallel using Inductive Current Splitters/Mergers. Such arrangements resulting in lower voltage distortions at extremely low switching frequency. Proposed new arrangements was validated by simulation. Laboratory models of 18- and 24-pulse 3-level VSI arrangements was also investigated experimentally. Results of simulation and laboratory tests of experimental models are presented in the paper.
