3.1 Twelve–pulse parallel hardware configurations
The following figures show the most significant features of the 12 –
pulse
parallel hardware configurations with two DC thyristor power
converters of the
DCS 600 series combined with the corresponding
12 – pulse control structures:
• Connection of converters in parallel configuration
• Use of a T-reactor [for 12 – pulse parallel configurations]
• Master / Follower link [channel 2 on SDCS-AMC-DC boards]
• Master / Slave 12 – pulse communication link [channel V260 on
SDCS-CON-2 boards]

In this combination speed and field control are performed by the
12 – pulse master whereas current control is carried out by the master
and the slave.
