Indicators improvement of the traction substations multiple pulsed rectifiers energy efficiency

The article deals with the introduction of a twenty - four pulse rectifiers with various rectification circuits on direct current traction substations. The results of the operation of a twenty-four-pulse rectifier installed at one of the traction substations prove the expediency of using such a converter. The variants of the existing equipment modernization, which is a part of the six- and twelve-pulse rectifiers in order to use it in the creation of twenty-four-pulse rectifiers, as well as the requirements for the creation of such rectifiers in industrial design are given.
