EE 809 DC-AC SYSTEM INTERACTIONS
Assignment - 6

An HVDC system fed by an isolated 12-pulse thyristor bridge rectifier with constant DC
current at 15o firing angle with an overlap angle of 15o. The converter transformer with single
primary star connected winding and two secondary windings connected in star and delta. The
two 6-pulse thyristor bridges are connected in series to provide 12-pulse output. (use the
waveform)
(a) Draw the DC output voltage waveform across each 6-pulse thyristor bridge for a complete
cycle with conduction sequence of valves.
(b) Draw the voltage across the valve - 4 for a complete cycle with conduction sequence.
(c) Also draw the waveform for phase C current on the secondary side (for star and delta) of
the transformer.
(Use this waveform)
