The Transformer Rectifier Unit (TRU) in aircraft is DC power supplies. Three-phase AC power supplies are available as long as they work. DC power distribution, on the other hand, provides DC power directly to all DC users, providing input power to the emergency AC distribution system so that the static inverter can generate AC power. To the voltages produced by TRUs to be less oscillating and of higher quality, multi-pulse ones are studied and recommended for aircraft systems. In this study, Zener diode filtered multi-pulse rectifier, which can further reduce the oscillations in the output voltage, is recommended for aircraft. Three-phase half-wave rectifier design and analysis are presented to better demonstrate the effectiveness of Zener diode regulation in multi-pulse TRUs. First, the parts of the power system, which includes the rectifier circuit of a two-engine aircraft and fed by this rectifier, are given. The circuit structure and working order of the rectifier are given with mathematical explanations. In the application phase, low oscillating output voltages and currents are obtained by creating currents and voltages on the load for different Zener voltages. Conventional rectifiers and the proposed rectifier are tested on the same loads, and comparisons are done.

Inverter circuits play an important role in providing energy to multiple loads or energy lines. In cases where power lines or loads are unbalanced, it is important to balance and regulate the power it carries. Therefore, in this study, an inverter structure with an inverted connecting double dc-dc converter is used to drive unbalanced loads. While load balancing is performed by changing the widths of the pulse width modulation that make up the voltage in load balancing methods in other inverter studies, the maximum point of the generated voltage is changed by affecting the operating times of the converters in this study. First, the circuit structure and the working order of the circuit are given. Then three-phase balanced and unbalanced loads are driven. The unbalanced loads driven are finally balanced with the proposed circuit structure. Distortions of load currents are decreased as %3, 51. This distortion value is lower than 4% reported by the international IEEE, while the obtained load currents maintain a smooth sinusoidal structure.

It is very important to drive loads and control the electrical devices with changing electrical energy levels and change a voltage form. While DC-DC converters are used to change the value level of direct current (DC) electrical energy, inverters are used to change its form such as alternating voltage. Unlike these studies in the literature, for the first time, dc-dc converters are used to a new device structure to convert dc electrical energy into alternating current (AC) electrical energy and they can also change an amplitude of the multi-level voltage. So, the paper presents a multi-level inverter with reverse connected dual dc to dc converter. Firstly, the circuit structure and the signals that control the circuit are given and the operating logic is explained. Then, the proposed circuit is gradually modeling in MATLAB Simulink. After that, the circuit is operated in MATLAB Simulink and its performance is measured. According to the results obtained, the new circuit structure gives highly successful results.
