Abstract
Abstract A three-phase voltage stiff converter (SR) has two six-pulse converters (SR1, SR2). The alternating voltage terminals of the partial converters are connected to a transformer (TR) with the aid of which the resultant alternating voltage of the converter is formed as the difference between the alternating voltages of the partial converters. Each partial converter has a separate direct voltage source (C1, C2). The converter has control members (SD) which control the two partial converters with a mutual phase displacement alternating between +150 DEG and -150 DEG .
