Patent ID: 8810349

Claim:
A power supply device comprising: a harmonic current quashing (AHQ) and current pulse multiplier (CPM) three-phase transformer (AHQ/CPM transformer) having: a magnetic core having a three phase configuration; a primary winding placed around the magnetic core and having three primary winding leads to which a three phase power supply can be connected; and a plurality of secondary windings placed around the limbs of the magnetic core in a predetermined winding turns configuration to generate a plurality of three phase outputs, where each three phase output of the plurality of three phase outputs has a different phase angle from all other three phase outputs, with each unique phase angle associated with a three phase output of a corresponding secondary winding being determined based on the winding turns configuration utilized for the corresponding secondary winding; and an arrangement of three-phase to single-phase electrical components, with a three phase input of each electrical component coupled to one of the three phase outputs, wherein the arrangement is comprised of three legs of N series-connected electrical devices, where the N electrical devices exhibit similar output voltage characteristics and a terminal endpoint of each of the three legs provides one phase of a final three phase output of the AHQ/CPM transformer.
