A novel method of providing regulation in a resonant power supply uses a device called a magnetic regulator which resembles an ordinary AC transformer. Through the use of additional control windings, the conversion ratio of the magnetic regulator can be electronically varied thus achieving control. A circuit model for the magnetic regulator is derived and is shown to contain a current-conbolled leakage inductance. Measurements are made on an experimental device which venfy the model. Two additional structures are described including a new invention which has signi$iiant advantages over the prior art.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
