Climate changes is one of the hottest issues during this day. Transportation became one of the major problems as it emits the most CO2 to the surrounding. Therefore, campaign and demand of public transportation keeps on increasing by day. This paper study the the comparison between different type of multiphase transformer system in DC traction system. The parameter being measured in this thesis are the current Total Harmonics Distortion (THDi) that being connected to the grid system. In another word, author do a research of how multiphase rectifier transformer system affects the power quality to the grid that being shared with other user. First part of the thesis, author explained in further detail the importance of the study. As a note, this project is a study of 12-pulse rectifier transformer, 18-pulse rectifier transformer and 24-pulse rectifier transformer. The next part of this paper explained on how the data was gathered for the analysis purposes. Then, author show the analysis done by a using comparative method between all three rectifiers transformer system.
