| Abstract | A popular harmonic current reduction method specifically geared towards diode-bridge rectifier loads like motor drives is to increase the number of rectification pulses. For applications where the demand for harmonic current reduction is stringent, the 18-pulse rectification method is the preferred method. This is more economical than the 24-pulse rectifier while being more effective than the 12-pulse version. For applications where line-voltage isolation is not required, several autotransformer based multi-pulse rectification schemes have been suggested. This paper presents a novel autotransformer suitable for 18-pulse rectification. It differs from existing schemes by achieving harmonic current reduction without the need for equal diode-bridge current sharing. The need for additional magnetic components like line-impedance matching inductors is also eliminated. The paper presents the principle of operation of the circuit and guidelines for designing the autotransformer. Operation under constant DC current conditions is investigated and equations determining the power ratings of the transformer and diode bridges are derived. Finally, the paper presents experimental results obtained from a proof-of-concept prototype operating on a 3-O, 230 V/15 hp motor drive load. The line current has a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 6.9% at rated load, further validating the concept. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
