6-pulse rectifier with line reactor on a three-phase supply
Typical harmonic currents of a 6-pulse rectifier with a line reactor are specified in the following (relative short-circuit
voltage (per unit impedance) of the line reactor = 2 %).
These data are based on three supply system constellations with differences in line inductance or relative short-
circuit power RSC (RSC = Relative Short-Circuit Power in accordance with EN 60146-1-1: Ratio between the short-
circuit power S of the supply system and the rated apparent power (fundamental apparent power) S
K Line
converter at its point of common coupling PCC).
a) Supply system with low supply system inductance or high relative short-circuit power (RSC >> 50)
The short-circuit power S
converters, i.e. only a relatively small percentage of the transformer load is attributable to the converter. This is
the case, for example, when a converter with an apparent power of << 100 kVA is connected to a supply system
which is supplied via a transformer with an apparent power of several MVA.
b) Supply system with average supply system inductance or average relative short-circuit power (RSC = 50)
This applies, for example, when approximately 30 % to 50 % of the transformer load is attributable to the
converter.
c) Supply system with high supply system inductance or low relative short-circuit power (RSC < 15)
This is the case when 100 % converter load is connected to a transformer with a high short-circuit voltage, i.e
only one converter whose apparent power approximately corresponds to the apparent power of the transformer.
