[Amps] Benefits of 3-phase power?

[Traian]

One of the best amp power supply is to use 3 phase transformer
with two HV secondary windings. Conect one as delta and the
other as Y. Use rectifiers for each then connect the rectified voltages
in series and you will have a 12 phase system for which you may need
a low value filtering capacitance.
The Harris RF-111 PS use this system without any filtering.
Similar for the  Harris RF-745 (4CX15000 10kW amp) and
RF-112 supply which are using the same system with L-C filtering.
