Transformer for cycloconverter

Abstract

A transformer for a cycloconverter includes three single-phase transformers connected into a three-phase configuration. Each of the single-phase transformers includes a two-legged core, primary windings wound on at least one of legs of the two-legged core, and twelve secondary windings wound on at least one of the legs of the two-legged core. The secondary windings are connected to positive group converters and negative group converters of a three-phase output circulating current type cycloconverter composed of three single-phase output circulating current type cycloconverters connected in a three-phase configuration. Each of the single-phase output circulating current type cycloconverters includes two positive group converters and two negative group converters arranged in a twelve-pulse bridge configuration. The single-phase transformers include six sets of the secondary windings of the respective phases each of which sets is connected in a delta configuration and other six sets of the secondary windings each of which sets is connected in a wye configuration.
