Abstract
This paper presents the design and simulation results of a 70 kV, 60 A , high-voltage direct-current source. The proposed solution consists o f 96 three-phase bridges connected in series in a 36-pulse arrangement and fed by a cascade of three dry-type transformers. Simulation resul ts obtained using the EMTP software (Electro Magnetic Transient Progra m) confirm the feasibility of the design and the theoretical estimates of the dc voltage ripple and the ac line current harmonics.
