6- and 12-pulse supply units
The figure below illustrates the difference between 6-pulse and 12-pulse AC supply
connections. The 6-pulse connection is standard. If the drive has an even number of
supply modules, you can order it as a 12-pulse version (option +A004).
The 12-pulse supply connection eliminates the fifth and seventh harmonics, which
remarkably reduces the harmonic distortion of the line current and the conducted
emissions.
The 12-pulse connection requires a three-winding transformer, or two separate
transformers. There is a 30-degree phase shift between the two 6-pulse supply lines,
which are connected to different supply modules through electrically separate switching
equipment.
