12-, 18- and 24-pulse solution for ATV61 / 71
The standard frequency inverter uses a diode rectifier on the input to generate dc voltage. Due to this rectifier
the mains input current gets harmonics which lead to a voltage distortion of the supplying mains.

There are several possibilities to reduce this current harmonics and to decrease the total mains current:

− Use of a DC choke – THD(i) less than 42 %

− Use of a three-phase choke – THD(i) less than 44 %
− Installation of a passive mains current harmonic filter – THD(i) less than 20 %
− Installation of an active mains current harmonic filter – THD(i) less than 5 %
− AIC (Active Infeed Converter) – THD(i) less than 5 %
− 12-pulse connection – THD(i) less than 12 %
− 18-pulse connection – THD(i) less than 5 %
− 24-pulse connection – THD(i) less than 3 %

preliminary version 04/2008

In order to reduce the current harmonics in the line supply the ATV 61/71
(above 18 kW) is delivered with DC-choke as standard. In addition to this
harmonic reduction drives above 400 kW are prepared for 12-pulse
supply too.
For the power range between 90...400 kW an additional rectifier bridge
including contactor and fuses offers a 12-pulse solution. 18-pulse supply
is possible with the same rectifier bridge for power range from
90...630 kW.

The basic design of the Altivar customized enclosure 8 P02 502 EN.00/02
complies with protection degree IP23 and IP54 and
includes a main switch, mains fuses, AC choke, sinus filter
and motor terminals. Further installed components, such
as circuit breaker, line contactor, various control options,
alternatively with a field bus, safety relay, cubicle heating,
and much more, see ATV61 and ATV71 catalogues.
Further installed components are possible to get harmonic
mitigation by 12- or 18-pulse supply. For the power range
from 630...2400 kW also a 24-pulse solution can be
selected.

 12-pulse-supply

General specification
12-pulse

12-pulse supply is a simple solution for harmonic mitigation. A transformer with two out-of-phase secondary
windings (each for half of the nominal power) is used to supply the drive system. The frequency inverter has to
be provided by two input rectifiers in parallel. On the mains side of the transformer the 5th and 7th current
harmonics are practically non-existent as they have been cancelled by the shifted transformer windings.
Following frequency inverters are standard equipped with two parallel input rectifiers and therefore well
prepared for 12-pulse rectification:
ATV61HC50N4(D) and HC63N4(D)
ATV61HC50Y...HC80Y
ATV71HC40N4(D) and HC50N4(D)
ATV71HC40Y...HC63Y

Using an additional external "Rectifier bridge" all other frequency inverters are able to run in a 12-pulse-supply

ATV61HD90N4D...HC31N4D
ATV61HC11Y...HC40Y
ATV71HD90N4D...HC25N4D
ATV71HC11Y...HC31Y

At ATV●1EX●●●●● (IP23 or IP54 floor-standing enclosure compact version) the cubicle can be prepared for
12-pulse-supply by selecting it as an option.
At ATV●1EXA●●●● (IP23 or IP54 floor-standing enclosure for very high power) all drives are ready for 12-pulse
supply as standard.
8 P02 502 EN.00/02

Transformer

The transformer (e.g. Dy5d6) must keep the following tolerances in order to guarantee a constant current
sharing:
• Tolerance of the secondary voltages to each other: 0.3 % of VNOM
Tolerance of the relative short circuit voltage: ± 5.0 % of vSC_NOM
• The nominal output voltage of a transformer is specified at no load operation. Therefore this value has
to be approx. 5 % higher than the rated voltage of the drive (see table below).
• Select the primary voltage in accordance to the mains voltage. The transformer must contain taps to
adapt the primary voltage between ± 5 % (or 2 x ± 2.5 %).
• The design of the transformer has to respect the THD(i) for primary and secondary side (see table).
• For power of the transformer use table below with specified current values for secondary windings.

*) Line chokes (or alternative DC-chokes for

some power ratings only) are just necessary if
the transformer is larger than 1.5-times of the
inverter power.

In case of higher transformer power (transformer power [kVA] is higher than 1.5-times of the inverter
power [kW]; e.g. when the transformer is used to supply several drives) additional chokes are
necessary (line chokes, for some drive ratings dc-chokes are possible too).

4 | 12-pulse
 Harmonics level
In a 12-pulse supply system many harmonics are compensated to zero in the mains side of the 3-windings
transformer due to a phase shifting of the secondary windings. Therefore 12-pulse supply is a simple solution
for harmonic mitigation.

The following lines show the harmonic values based on a mains voltage without any disturbances:

Current harmonics in %
Power range H1 H5 H7 H11 H13 H17 H19 H23 H25 H29 H31 H35 H37 H41 H43 H47 H49 THD

In a typical medium voltage mains the THD(u) value can be assumed with 3 %. Due to this voltage harmonics
there is no total compensation of harmonics.

Voltage harmonics in the mains supply lead to a different current value for both rectifier bridges. In bad
conditions the current can be different by 10 % at most.

Passive filters can not be used together with 12-pulse solution.

18-pulse-supply

General specification
18-pulse

18-pulse supply is an extended solution for harmonic mitigation. A transformer with three out-of-phase
secondary windings (each for approx. 33% of the nominal power) is used to supply the drive system. The
frequency inverter has to be provided by three input rectifiers in parallel. On the mains side of the transformer
most of the low frequency harmonics are practically non-existent as they have been cancelled by the shifted
transformer windings.

Using one or two additional external "Rectifier bridge(s)" all frequency inverters are able to run in an 18-pulse-
supply operating mode:
ATV61HD90N4D...HC31N4D 2 Rectifier bridges
ATV61HC50N4D and HC63N4D 1 Rectifier bridge
ATV61HC11Y...HC40Y 2 Rectifier bridges
ATV61HC50Y...HC80Y 1 Rectifier bridge

ATV71HC40N4D and HC50N4D 1 Rectifier bridge
ATV71HC11Y...HC31Y 2 Rectifier bridges
ATV71HC40Y...HC63Y 1 Rectifier bridge

At ATV●1EX●●●●● - IP23 or IP54 floor-standing enclosure compact version the cubicle can be prepared for
18-pulse-supply by selecting it as an option (in preparation).
At ATV●1EXA●●●● - IP23 or IP54 floor-standing enclosure for very high power 18-pulse supply is available up
to 1800 kW as a pre-engineered option.

 Transformer

The transformer (e.g. D y d0 d+20 d-20) must keep the following typical specification and tolerances in order to
guarantee a constant current sharing:
• Tolerance of the secondary voltages to each other: 0.3 % of VNOM
Short circuit voltage between primary and secondary windings: 8 %
Tolerance of the relative short circuit voltage: ± 10.0 % of vSC_NOM
Short circuit voltage between two secondary windings: 14 %
Difference between short circuit voltages: 2.5 %
• The nominal output voltage of a transformer is specified at no load operation. Therefore this value has
to be approx. 5 % higher than the rated voltage of the drive.
• Primary taps for 2x ± 2.5 % for right setting the transformer to local voltage level.
• The design of the transformer has to respect approx. 32 % THD(i) current harmonics in secondary
windings.
• The nominal power of the transformer has be designed in accordance to the nominal power of the
drive (transformer power [kVA] is approx. 1.25-times of the inverter power [kW]).
• In case of higher transformer power (transformer power [kVA] is higher than 1.5-times of the inverter
power [kW]) (e.g. the transformer will be used to supply several drives) additional chokes are necessary
(line chokes).
preliminary version 04/2008

*) Line chokes are just necessary if the trans-

former is larger than 1.5-times of the inverter
power.

Harmonics level
In an 18-pulse supply system a lot of harmonics are compensated to zero in the mains side of the 4-windings
transformer due to phase shifting of the secondary windings. Therefore 18-pulse supply is an improved
solution for harmonic mitigation.

The following lines show the harmonic values based on a mains voltage without any disturbances:

In a typical medium voltage mains the THD(u) value can be assumed with 3 %. Due to this voltage harmonics
there is no total compensation of harmonics.

Voltage harmonics in the mains supply lead to a different current value for both rectifier bridges. In bad
conditions the current can be different by 10 % at most.
