Simulation of 6 pulse GTO thyristor converter and harmonics analysis
This project is about the simulation of 6 pulse GTO thyristor converter circuit and their harmonics analysis when the LC filter circuit is added to the system. Gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) are four-layer PNPN devices that act as switches, rectifiers, and voltage regulators. It is a fully controllab...
