A multi-phase shift transformer based AC-DC converter includes a single transformer that reflects a negative portion of an AC voltage to become a positive voltage by generating multiple phases from a poly-phase input. The multiple phases generated can be separated by as little as 1° to create a well-approximated DC output without the need for a smoothing circuit. The primary and second windings of the transformer are flat wire conductors structured to provide a larger number of windings per core including a larger number of secondary coils, which provides for a large number of output phases.

An auto transformer rectifier unit (ATRU) is provided. The ATRU comprises a transformer configured to receive a three-phase alternating current input and produce a ten-phase alternating current output, and a rectifier configured to receive the ten-phase alternating current output and output a bipolar direct current.
