how the 12 pulse rectifier is made?

Answer Posted / venu

Is it possible to obtain more pulses than twice the number
of phases in a rectifier circuit? The answer to this
question is yes: especially in polyphase circuits. Through
the creative use of transformers, sets of full-wave
rectifiers may be paralleled in such a way that more than
six pulses of DC are produced for three phases of AC. A 30o
phase shift is introduced from primary to secondary of a
three-phase transformer when the winding configurations are
not of the same type. In other words, a transformer
connected either Y-Δ or Δ-Y will exhibit this 30o phase
shift, while a transformer connected Y-Y or Δ-Δ will not.
This phenomenon may be exploited by having one transformer
connected Y-Y feed a bridge rectifier, and have another
transformer connected Y-Δ feed a second bridge rectifier,
then parallel the DC outputs of both rectifiers. (Figure
below) Since the ripple voltage waveforms of the two
rectifiers' outputs are phase-shifted 30o from one another,
their superposition results in less ripple than either
rectifier output considered separately: 12 pulses per 360o
instead of just six:

I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.
