Comments and further results on "A New Critical Formula and Mathematical Model of Double-Tap Interphase Reactor in a Six-Phase Tap-Changer Diode Rectifier

This paper presents some comments and further results concerning the mathematical model of double-tap interphase reactor (IPR) in a six-phase tap-changer diode rectifier. On the basis of coupling circuit principle and phase-coordinate method, the proposed model, which reduces the mutual inductance coupling completely, describes the double-tap IPR by an admittance matrix containing the information about the connection way and electrical quantities. Some computer simulation and experiments are included to support the theoretical analysis of the model.
