Through AC\u2013DC\u2013AC conversion, the frequency of the three-phase AC input voltage is increased, the number of core and coil turns in the transformer is reduced to reduce the size of the phase-shifter transformer, a zigzag structure of the phase-shifter transformer is used to solve the unbalanced distribution of current between the diode bridges, and a passive harmonic suppression method on the DC side is used to generate a loop current by using a group of single-phase rectifier bridges to regulate the input line current of the phase-shifter transformer. The phase-shifted voltage is input into two three-phase diode rectifier bridges to rectify and supply power to the load. Simulation and semi-physical test results show that the proposed method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) value of the input current of the phase-shifted transformer to 7.17%, and the THD value of the grid-side input current is further reduced to 2.49%, which meets the harmonic standard and realizes the purpose of power factor correction as well as being more suitable for high-power applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24175564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]],"date-time":"2024-08-28T07:52:08Z","timestamp":1724831528000},"page":"5564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Novel Shunt Zigzag Double-Tap Low-Harmonic Multi-Pulse Rectifier Based on a Three-Stage Power Electronic Phase-Shifting Transformer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Xiuqing","family":"Mu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqiang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qianxiao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tun","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leijiao","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"},{"name":"School of Electrical Automation and Information Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiping","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Grid Gansu Electric Power Company Electric Power Science Research Institute, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166502","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2021.3135083","article-title":"A Review on Microgrids\u2019 Challenges & Perspectives","volume":"9","author":"Saeed","year":"2021","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kook, S., Kim, K., Ryu, J., Lee, Y., and Won, D.
