In order to reduce the harmonics in input currents effectively, this paper presents a double star rectifier with an auxiliary PWM rectifier at DC side. The volt-ampere rating of auxiliary PWM rectifier is only 10% of output power of the double star rectifier. The auxiliary PWM rectifier injects a particular triangular wave current into the secondary winding of inter-phase transformer to reduce the THD of input currents. The resulting system draws near sinusoidal utility line currents with less than 5% THD. The auxiliary PWM rectifier also extracts the harmonic energy and feeds to the load. Detailed analysis of the proposed scheme is presented, and the results of experiment verify the analysis.
