Definition of 12 – pulse
technology
The characteristic features of the 12 – pulse technology are:
• a DC drive comprising two 6 – pulse thyristor converters;
• a 12 – pulse line transformer providing the AC power for both
converters from separated transformer secondary windings
whose phase positions differ by 30°. An example for such a
transformer configuration is ∆ / / ∆ .
Advantages of
12 – pulse technology
The most significant advantages of 12 – pulse technology are:
• Reduced level of harmonics on the AC side for 12 – pulse
parallel and serial configurations
Configuration Harmonics
6 – pulse 5th; 7th; 11th; 13th; 17th; 19th; 23rd; 25th; ..
12 – pulse 11th; 13th; 23rd; 25th; ..
• Extension of the power range by doubling the converter out-
put current (
⇒ parallel config.) or voltage (⇒ serial config.).
• Possibility of an emergency operation with one converter in
case of a breakdown in the other converter.
• Improvement of the motor efficiency due to reduced DC cur-
rent ripple.
2.1 Types of 12 – pulse configurations
ABB offers different types of 12 – pulse configurations:
12 – pulse parallel
configuration
In this
12 – pulse parallel configuration the motor gets the sum of
the DC current of two converters. Thus the current is doubled.
An emergency operation is possible with full armature voltage and
with 50 % of the former maximum torque.

12 – pulse serial con-
figuration
In this 12 – pulse serial configuration the motor gets the sum of the
DC voltage of two converters. Thus the voltage is doubled.

Sequential configura-
tion
The power circuit of this sequential configuration (Figure 2/3) is identi-
cal to that of the 12 – pulse serial configuration except that in most
cases the phase positions of the two transformer secondary windings
are identical (e.g. transformer configuration
∆ / ∆ / ∆ ). The motor gets
the sum of the DC voltage of two converters but both voltages are
normally not equal. This is the main difference to the 12-pulse opera-
tion mode. In consequence the motor must cope with a normal 6-pulse
ripple of the armature current, and the line current is not free from the
so-called 6-pulse harmonics.

*) For the lowest reactive
power consumption a
transformer without phase
shifting is recommended
(e.g. ∆ / ∆ / ∆ ).
But the sequential control
can also handle trans-
formers for 12–pulse
serial configuration
( ∆ / ∆ / ).

DCS 600 Manual for 12 – Pulse Operation 2 - 3
Sequential configura-
tion (continued)
Sequential control means that the DC voltage of only one converter
varies in order to control the armature current until firing angle has
reached the maximum or minimum limit and then the other converter
starts contolling the DC voltage.
Depending on the armature voltage the first or the second converter
operates with constant voltage or firing angle while the other one
works with varying values.

The benefit of this operation mode is that reactive power (Q
max
/2) can
be reduced
(Figure 2/5). This is important for drives which have to work
for long times with full torque at low speeds.
Converters with sequential control are preferred if the saving of reac-
tive power is more important than a lower ripple of the armature cur-
rent and a lower intensity of the line harmonics
.

12 – pulse configura-
tion with master /
follower link used for
tandem motors
In this combination speed control is performed by the master
whereas current and field control are carried out by the master and
the follower. Each motors is supplied with a 6 – pulse current. But
the line current on the primary side of the power transformer is a
12 – pulse current.
Note: The 12 – pulse link
(V260) is not used in this configuration.
Required settings of master-follower configuration are
not handled in this manual!
For safety reasons a protection against shaft breakdown
and overspeed of the follower must be considered.

T-REACTOR
Field
Figure 2/7
The T-reactor also known as interphase transformer (Figure 2/7) ab-
sorbes the instantaneous difference between the output voltages of
both converters (master and slave). This voltage difference is an AC
voltage with a maximum amplitude of 50 % of the peak value of the AC
input voltage of the converters.
The almost rectangular form of this voltage results in a nearly triangu-
lar AC current in the T-reactor.This magnetising current is superposed
by the difference of the DC current produced by both converters. How-
ever this difference is monitored by the master converter and the cur-
rent controllers of the master-slave drive configuration is able to limit it
to below 2 %.
T-reactors delivered from ABB Automation Products GmbH, Lampert-
heim have enough margin in this case, because they are designed for
10 % saturation current.
T-reactors provide a typical 12 – pulse voltage ripple characteristic to
the motor (higher frequency and lower amplitude) resulting in a current
which has four times less ripple than in a standard 6 – pulse configura-
tion.
Chapter 2 – Twelve–Pulse Technology
2 - 6 DCS 600 Manual for 12 – Pulse Operation
The sizing of a T-reactor is done in a similar way to that of an auto-
transformer with centre tap. The type rating/size S is determined by
current
(I
RMS mot
) for the copper or aluminium cross sections of the
windings and voltage (U
AC conv
) for the number of windings and the
cross section of the iron core:
S = K x U
AC conv
x I
RMS mot
with K = f (Line frequency, DC voltage)
To be able to deliver the correct T-reactor for the drive the following
data will be needed: - AC converter input voltage
- Line frequency
- Motor duty load cycle
If the drive is used for non motoric applications a much more detailed
information is needed, such as resistance , inductivity and capacity of
the load as well as requested du/dt characteristics of the converter
output voltage.
2.3 Line/power transformers used in 12 – pulse configurations
The following details have to be taken into consideration for line/
power transformers used in 12 – pulse configurations:
• When selecting and dimensioning the 12 – pulse line trans-
former, care must be taken to ensure that overvoltages are kept
away from the converter’s power section when mains supply is
fed to the transformer. For this reason, the transformer should
have an earthed shielding winding between the primary and the
secondary windings which is also very useful for suppressing
capacitive feedthrough during switching operations on the pri-
mary side. In addition, the shielding winding also suppresses
cable-related interferences (EMC) to the network.
• Another method for avoiding overvoltages is to switch on the
components gradually. First feed the mains supply to the
transformer, and then allow the power to flow between the
transformer and the converter. Another option is to incorporate
an R-C element on the secondary side.
• Dimensioning is determined solely by the electrical conditions
involved, like mains voltage, converter supply voltage, converter
rated current and frequency.
• For transformers with a relative short circuit voltage

Note:
It is not possible to connect two 12-pulse systems at the same 12-
pulse transformer.
Reason: The voltage level between the star-delta winding is controlled
by the switching (control angle) of the first configuration. Connecting a
second configuration will create a circulating current.

2.4 Earth fault (insulation) monitoring
Monitoring of first
earth fault
The following details have to be taken into consideration for earth
fault (insulation) monitoring in 12 – pulse configurations:
This earth fault monitoring is used for insulated (IT) networks and
12 – pulse/ sequential configurations The insulation monitor super-
vises continuously the AC terminals
(L
1
, L
2
, L
3
) or the DC terminals
(L
+
, L
-
).
The converter can handle a floating of the neutral voltage point up to
the level of an earthed line phase. With higher floating voltage levels
the converter will trip signalling Synchronization Fault
(F 31). The line
is grounded by the internal high-ohmic measuring resistor Rm of the
insulation monitor.
The application principles of such an insulation monitor unit are ex-
plained with an example manufactured by the company BENDER.
Insulation moni-
tor unit “ISO-
METER“ type
IRDH 265 – 3
(Bender-Relay)
The insulation monitor unit “ISOMETER“ type IRDH 265 – 3 manu-
factured by BENDER can handle up to 440V AC between the inputs
with Ri = 60kΩ and up to 220V AC or DC between the inputs with
Ri = 40kΩ:

Figure 2/9
If the base unit type IRDH 265 - 3 is used for higher voltages a sup-
plementary unit of the type AGH xxx will be required according to the
BENDER documentation.
The result of the combination of a base unit and of a supplementary
unit is that the Rm values are higher than 60kΩ + 34kΩ = 94kΩ or
than 40kΩ + 34kΩ = 74kΩ. However, a supplementary unit is not
shown in the following figures in order to keep them clear. The figures
shall clarify the principles only, not the detailed solutions.
The 34kΩ base resistance includes the 4.2 kΩ winding resistance
of a high inductive choke. Therefore the base AC impedance is
higher than 34kΩ.

Of course one of the two 3 – phase systems can be supervised.
Then the DC circuit and the other AC system are simultaneously
supervised only if both converters are active. However, it is more
logical to connect the insulation monitor with the motor as shown in
Fig.2/10 because the DC circuit is the centre of symmetry of the
whole power circuit. Furthermore, the risk of an insulation fault is
higher in the motor than in the converters or in the transformer.

Figure 2/11 is the synopsis of an insulated DC drive in a 12 – pulse
serial configuration with two thyristor power converters and one
motor, with a dedicated power transformer and with one insulation
monitor unit type IRDH from BENDER.
In this case it is obvious that the insulation monitor unit must be in-
stalled at the DC side.

2.5 Advanced current measurement
DC drives from ABB are equipped with DC current measurement by
AC current transformer. If such drives are connected to and used at
weak networks and if the current controller is tuned for fast time re-
sponse it may happen, that an interaction can be recognized bet-
ween the networks and the drive. The most critical configuration is
the 12-pulse parallel one in the range of 900A –5150A
(C3 and C4).
Sometimes it will appear as a current instability or increase of
bridge change over time and due to an remaining magnetizing in
the current transformer.

To avoid this problem the converters (900A…5150A) can be equip-
ped with a current measurement aid (CMA2) as an option.
The board is located outside the converter module quite near the
current transformer.

2.6 Control, Trip, Emergency operation
Drive logic DCS 600 The basic switch on/off logic (control structure, see Figure 2/14) is
based on DCS 600 six – pulse converter logic. However for
DCS 600 in 12 – pulse / sequential operation an additional function
is available:
The drive can be commissioned without APC /AC80 control soft-
ware and switched on only by DriveWindow. Moreover the 12 –
pulse configuration can be controlled only by fieldbusadapter mod-
ules (FCI…).
Note: The features for single 6 – pulse operation remain
unchanged.
*) X16 is connected but will only be used in case of slave emergency operation!
Figure 2/14
This new function is performed by the Parameter COMMAND SEL
(15.22). The slave must be set to 12 – pulse link (new value).
With this configuration the APC/AC80/FCI or DriveWindow controls
the complete 12 – pulse configuration.
The signals ON/OFF, START/STOP, REFERENCE and RESET are
sent only to the master.
Parameters (controller gain, motor ratings, operation mode…..)
must be sent directly to the slave converter via CH0 or CH3 (similar
DCS 600 six – pulse).
The controlword MCW
(7.01) of the slave is not valid in 12-pulse
configuration, because the slave receives the command bits by 12–
pulse link (V260).
DriveWindow uploads and displays the slave Status via CH3 auto-
matically. In case of remote operation the overriding control must
upload the slave status via Ch0.
An emergency operation can be used in case of a break down of a
converter. The parameters for 6-pulse single operation mode
(emergency operation) can be sent by DriveWindow (CH3) or over-
riding control (CH0) to the master or slave converter.

Tripping behaviour
Software
15.606/15.204
• Tripping of master:
The master trips like in the 6 – pulse single operation.
Then the slave forces the current to zero and fires its bridge cir-
cuit at 150° (60° pulses).
• Tripping of slave:
The slave trips like in the 6 – pulse single operation.
Then the master forces the current to zero and fires its bridge
circuit at 150° (60° pulses).
• Fault message:
The fault message of the 12 – pulse slave must be uploaded via
Ch0 directly from the slave. Then the overriding control must
switch off the 12 – pulse configuration (via master).
Software
15.607/15.206
or higher
• Tripping of master:
The master trips according the fault handing in the manual “op-
eration instructions”. The slave is switched off via 12-pulse link.
• Tripping of slave:
The slave trips according the fault handling in the manual “op-
eration instructions”. The master receives a 12-pulse slave fault
via 12-pulse link and is switched off. The fault message of the
slave must be uploaded via ch0 or ch3 direct from the slave.
• RESET sequence:
For reset of a 12-pulse configuration the overriding control must
send the following commands to the master
RESET
OFF
…..Restart
The DriveWindow buttons (Control Panel) can also be used for
this function.
