How to use this manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed information about
the different types of 12 – pulse converter configurations, their op-
eration principles, their various applications, the required hard-
ware/software/parameters and the start up of a 12 – pulse configu-
ration consisting of DCS 600 series thyristor power converters.
Note: All details given in this manual are valid for DCS 600
series converters even if not explicitly mentioned!
Contents of this manual
Chapter 1 – Introduction
This chapter describes how to use this manual and the available
associated publications.
Chapter 2 – Twelve–Pulse Technology
This chapter defines 12 – pulse technology and describes the ad-
vantages and types of 12 – pulse configurations as well as the
T-reactors and the power transformers to be used. Also information
about earth fault monitoring, control, trip emergency operation is
given.
Chapter 3 – Twelve–Pulse Parallel
Configurations with DCS 600
This chapter describes the 12 – pulse hardware configurations and
control structure using DC thyristor power converters of the
DCS 600 series in parallel connection. It also informs about the
software configuration, the 12 – pulse communication via SDCS-
CON-2 channel V260, the 12 – pulse configuration (activation of
12 – pulse mode) as well as monitoring and fault signals. The func-
tional description gives details concerning switch-on/-off logic, dy-
namic response, current controller, measuring the DC voltage and
bridge reversal.
Chapter 4 – Twelve–Pulse Serial / Sequential
Configurations with DCS 600
This chapter describes the 12 – pulse hardware configurations and
control structures using DC thyristor power converters of the
DCS 600 series in serial/sequential connection. The chapter also
informs about the software configuration, the 12 – pulse communi-
cation via SDCS-CON-2 channel V260, the 12 – pulse configuration
(activation of 12 – pulse mode) as well as monitoring and fault sig-
nals. The functional description gives details concerning
switch-on/-off logic, dynamic response, bridge ratings, bridge rever-
sal, current controller and DC voltage measurement.
