Performance of the Doublet III generator-rectifier system

Doublet III has four independent, twelve-pulse converters on a common bus supplied by a varying frequency generator. The design procedure was modified to take into account the varying frequency of the rectifier power source, and the commutating reactance must include the reactance of the generator that is common to all four independent converters. The ''notching'' of the generator terminal voltage presents the possibility of thyristor firing circuit interference between systems. 2 refs
