Supply connection detail – two D8D modules, 12-pulse connection, external charging
and pre-magnetizing
24 Operation principle and hardware description
Overview diagram – 2×D8D, 12-pulse, external charging and pre-
magnetizing
The diagram shows a supply unit with two D8D modules in a 12-pulse connection. The
system has an external charging circuit combined with a transformer pre-magnetization
circuit.

*Each module must have its own input AC cable with a minimum length of 5 m (16.4 ft). Use symmetrical
supply cabling to ensure equal current sharing between parallel diode bridges.
■ 6-pulse, 12-pulse and 24-pulse connections
The figure below illustrates the difference between 6-pulse and 12-pulse AC supply
connections. 6-pulse connection is standard.
Some drive types are available as a 12-pulse version (option +A004), some as a 24-pulse
version (option +A006).
