A New Critical Formula and Mathematical Model of Double-Tap Interphase Reactor in a Six-Phase Tap-Changer Diode Rectifier

Abstract

This paper presents a new practical formula to calculate the critical value of interphase reactor (IPR) in a six-phase diode rectifier with tap-changer. In addition, a mathematical model of the double-tap IPR has been established by equivalent circuit method. Simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the formula and mathematical model. On the basis of the above achievements, a simple and effective approach is provided to design the IPR and to analyze the performance of the whole system
