The 12-pluse rectifier is composed of one transformer and two rectifiers. After
receiving the AC input power, the transformer will (1) transfer the input voltage into

8.2 Input Harmonic Filter
Besides the 12-pluse rectifier, the passive-type input harmonic filter (L-C filter) is
another solution to reducing the total input current harmonic distortion. Moreover, it
is also a means to improve the input power factor of the UPS.
