With overlap
Without overlap
At any instant two valves are conducting in the bridge.

RECTIFIER
The rectifier in general has 3 modes:
The voltages across the value has a positive dent because of the
secondary commutation.
With increased over lap and consequently earlier ignition of the
value, the dent encroaches on the period in which the valve
voltage would otherwise be negative.

AC harmonics
DC harmonicsHarmonics were also classified into twotypes based
on the order
Characteristic harmonics
Non- Characteristic harmonics
2.7.1 Characteristic harmonics
The harmonics of those orders which werealways present in the
HVDC system evenunder the ideal conditions such as1.Balanced AC
voltages2.Symmetric 3 phase network and3.Equidistant pulses were
called asCharacteristic harmonics.AC characteristic harmonics were
of theorder h= np1Whereh=order of harmonicsn=Integer.
p=pulse numberAC characteristic harmonics were given a Non
characteristic harmonics The harmonics of the order other than the
characteristic harmonics were called as Non-characteristic
harmonics.
2.7.2 Causes of Non-characteristic harmonics
1.Imbalance in the operation of two bridges-Residual harmonics
2.Firing angle errors
3.Unbalance and distortion in AC voltages
4.Unequal transformer leakage impedances-Residual harmonics
Imbalance in the operation of two bridges
These were called as residual harmonics.
Causes
1.Due to the difference in the firing angles in the two bridges.
2.Unequal cancellation of harmonics of order 5, 7, 17, 19
Reduction
Equidistant pulse control was used to eliminate residual
harmonics.
It
involves
increased
reactive
power
consumption.
Firing angle errors Causes
1.Due to jitter (or) nature of control system
2.Ripple in current feedback signal Properties of non-characteristics
harmonics due to firing angle errors
1.There were even harmonics if x or d0
i. x, d=parameter showing the deviation of the current waveform
2.The magnitude of the characteristic harmonics were also affected
due to this
3.Triple harmonics would fall into odd or even groups defined by
h=6n+3
n=0, 1, 2
h=6n n=1, 2
In each of these groups, the magnitude of harmonics decreases
monotonically as n increases.
4. Two groups of even harmonics which were not multiples of
3 were given by h=6n+2, n=0, 1, 2
h=6n+4, n=1, 2
In one group, magnitude increases with n while in the other
group, it decreases with the increase in n.
5. For higher values of hNon characteristic harmonics The
harmonics of the order other than the characteristic harmonics
were called as Non-characteristic harmonics.

2.8 Types of AC Filters
The different types of AC filters used in
HVDC systems were as follows
1.Band pass filter
2.Single tuned filter
3.Double tuned filter
4.High pass Filter
i. Second order filter
ii. C type filter
Single Tuned Filter
It was to filter out the characteristic harmonics of single
frequency. It was used to filter out 11 th and 13th harmonics in
a converter system.
Double tuned filter
It was used to filter out two discrete frequencies. It was also
used to eliminate 11th and 13th harmonics.
Advantages
1.Only one inductor was subjected to full line
impulse voltage 2. Reduced power loss at the
fundamental frequency
High Pass Filter
Second order High pass filter
It was used to filter out the higher frequencies. Tuning of
these filters was not critical.
C type High pass filter
It was used to reduce power losses at the fundamental frequency.
Capacitor was connected in series with inductor to provide low
impedance path to the fundamental
