ABB Rectifier Transformer
The application for which the transformer is used, will drive the design considerations including:
bridge type connection of the thyristors for higher voltages
interphase connection for low voltage, high current applications
number of pulses (6, 12 and higher with phase shifting)
eddy current and harmonic issues
Voltage regulation is achieved with no-load or on-load tap changers on the high voltage side. Fine levels of voltage
regulation can be achieved using saturable reactors on the secondary side. Regulation units may be built in or separate.
