AFE Rectifier with Separate Isolation Transformer
For applications when the line voltage is higher than the motor voltage, a
transformer is required for voltage matching. In this case, providing an AFE
rectifier with a separate isolation transformer is ideal. The isolation transformer
provides the input impedance (replaces the requirement for an integral line
reactor) and addresses the common mode voltage (replaces the requirement for a
CMC that is supplied in the Direct-to-Drive rectifier configuration). However,
the AFE rectifier, its operation, and advantages are the same as the Direct-to-
Drive configuration.
