This study presents a comparative analysis of two different interphase reactors (IPRs) applied in a 36‐pulse diode rectifier. One is traditional triple‐tapped IPR; the other is unconventional IPR (UIPR) composed of the primary winding and secondary winding. The primary winding is double‐tapped conventionally and the secondary winding is connected with a single‐phase full‐wave rectifier. The operation modes and optimal parameters of both IPRs are analysed. The effect of different operation modes on output currents of the two three‐phase diode‐bridge rectifiers, input currents and load voltages is also analysed. Under the optimal parameters, both rectifiers operate as 36‐pulse diode rectifiers and reduce the total harmonic distortion of input line currents to be 5%. Especially, the proposed rectifier using UIPR is easy and simple to implement. Some experiments are provided to validate the theoretical analysis.
