E7 in providing power quality solutions A Primer on Power Quality solutions for AC Drives How are power line harmonics created with an AC drive Since the DC filter inside of the drive is capacitive the AC line current waveform and its associated harmonic frequencies are dependent for their shape and magnitude on the total circuit inductance of the AC lines feeding the drive If the AC lines are very stiff with respect to the drive kVA i e low inductance high short circuit current capability the line current waveform will have a poor form factor and be very rich in harmonic frequencies If the AC lines are soft with respect to the drive K VA rating 1 e high inductance low short circuit current capability the line current wave form will have a better form factor and the harmonic content will be lower The larger the DC link choke inside the drive the less effect the AC line inductance will have on the line current wave The 12 pulse drive The 12 pulse drive approach used to improve power quality over a 6 pulse drive A standard 6 pulse SCR or diode rectifier 1s replaced with two 6 pulse rectifiers each fed by one secondary of a special transformer which phase displaces the two secondaries by 30 electrical degrees The DC outputs of each of the two 6 pulse rectifiers are then connected in parallel or in series with each other parallel being the more common The input current to each of the two 6 pulse rectifier bridges will co
