Multi-Winding Phase-Shifting Rectifier Transformer
Product Introduction
The phase-shifting rectifier transformer is a special transformer designed to provide multi-phase rectifier power for medium- and high-voltage frequency converters.
With the continued development of variable-frequency speed control technology, demand for phase-shifting rectifier transformers has increased. Based on non-encapsulated dry-type transformer technology, a series of multi-winding phase-shifting rectifier transformers has been developed and successfully applied in many projects.
The transformer adopts the delayed-delta phase-shifting principle. By using several secondary windings with different phase-shifting angles, it can form equivalent 9-phase, 12-phase, 15-phase, 18-phase, 24-phase and 27-phase rectifier systems.
The primary side of the transformer is connected directly to the high-voltage power grid. The secondary side consists of several three-phase windings with different phase-shifting angles.
The low-voltage three-phase windings use an extended-delta connection. Their line voltages have specified phase-shifting angles relative to one another.
When each phase is connected in series with n H-bridge units, the phase-shifting angle is calculated as 60°/n. This creates a 6n-pulse rectifier input.
When the power of each H-bridge unit is balanced and the current amplitudes are equal, the theoretical grid-side input current does not contain harmonics below the 6n ± 1 order.
This design improves the power factor and generally eliminates the need for additional reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering equipment.
The transformer is especially suitable for applications with strict fire-protection requirements and large load variations, including offshore oil platforms, thermal power plants, water treatment plants, metallurgical facilities, chemical plants, mines, building material plants and other special operating environments.
