Abstract
This work was done to optimize the design of the components used for the beam power supply, which is a component of the transmitters in the DSN. The major findings are: (1) the difference in regulation between a six-pulse and a twelvepulse converter is at most 7 percent worse for the twelve-pulse converter; (2) the commutation overlap angle of a current source converter equals that of a voltage source converter with continuous line currents; (3) the sources of uncharacteristic harmonics are identified with SPICE simulation; (4) the use of an imperfect phaseshifting transformer for the twelve-pulse converter generates a harmonic at six times the line frequency; (5) the assumptions usually made in analyzing converters can be relaxed with SPICE simulation. The results demonstrate the suitability of using SPICE simulation to obtain detailed performance predictions of ac-to-de converters.
