Most power electronics designers and high-powered drives use multi-pulse rectifiers in the input section to achieve the requirements stated in IEEE519. These rectifiers are divided into 12, 18 and 24 pulse models and are powered by phase shifted transformers.

An important feature of multipulse rectifiers is their ability to reduce the harmonic current of the line. LC filters or power factor compensators will usually not be needed and potential LC resonances will be eliminated. The use of phase shifted transformers is an effective way to block common mode voltages generated by rectifiers and inverters in MV level drives.
