2.6 Options Line reactors for armature (DCS 60x) and field (DCF 60x) supply When thyristor power converters operate, the line voltage is short-circuited during commutation from one thyristor to the next. This operation causes voltage dips in the mains. For the connection of a power converter system to the mains, a decision is made between the following configurations: Configuration C1...

Conclusion for the field supply Basically, similar conditions apply for both field supply and armature-circuit supply. Depending on the power converter used (diode bridge, half-controlled bridge, fully controlled 4-quadrant bridge), some of the fault sources may not always be applicable. Due to special system conditions, such as supply via an autotrans- former or an isolating transformer, new protection conditions may additionally apply.

Commutating reactor When using the SDCS-FEX-2A field power converter, you should additionally use a commutating reactor because of EMC considerations. A commutating reac- tor is not necessary for the SDCS-FEX-1 (diode bridge). With DCF 503A/504A field power converters, it is already installed.
