Converter transformer is a special-transformer which is designed for offering high-current low voltage solutions for its wide range of applications. Voltage Converter is an electric converter that changes the voltage of electronic devices whereas transformer are used for transmitting power from one voltage to another. A transformer that has one of its windings connected to one of these circuits, as a dedicated transformer, is known as a Converter Transformer.
The converter transformers step up the voltage of the AC supply network. In HVDC systems, it acts as an interface between the AC system and the thyristor valves. Hence, converter transformer is one of the most important components in an HVDC converter station. It plays a vital role in terms of total cost of an HVDC converter station, as it affects the performance of the entire connected electric power system.
The key advantage of a Converter transformer is that, it acts as a galvanic barrier between the AC and DC system to prevent the DC potential to enter the AC systems. It also transforms voltage between the AC supply and the HVDC system. Converter transformers are fed by a high-voltage ac system, with ac filters used to absorb harmonic currents generated by the converters. The converter transformer can have different formations such as three phase, two winding, single phase, three winding and single phase, two winding. Converter transformers have widespread applications for large drive applications.
