Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A d.c. regulated power supply including a high reactance transformer having a core, primary winding means on said core, at least a pair of secondary winding means symmetrically arranged on said core relative to said primary winding means and on either side thereof so that the effect of loading of a secondary winding means on one side affects the flux density of the other secondary winding means, a first of said secondary winding means being connected to a thyristor having an output lead connectable to a load, a second thyristor connected to a second of said secondary means and having its output connected to said output lead, a connection betweEn said secondary means and connected thereto and having a connection to said load, and control means responsive to output condition to control firing angles of said thyristors so that conduction angles will include those over 180*.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A d.c. regulated power supply including a high reactance transformer having a core, primary winding means on said core, at least a pair of secondary winding means symmetrically arranged on said core relative to said primary winding means and on either side thereof so that the effect of loading of a secondary winding means on one side affects the flux density of the other secondary winding means, a first of said secondary winding means being connected to a thyristor having an output lead connectable to a load, a second thyristor connected to a second of said secondary means and having its output connected to said output lead, a connection betweEn said secondary means and connected thereto and having a connection to said load, and control means responsive to output condition to control firing angles of said thyristors so that conduction angles will include those over 180*.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A power supply as claimed in claim 1 wherein said primary means is seperated from said secondary means by magnetic shunt means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A power supply as claimed in claim 1 having control means for said thyristors which phase shifts the conduction angle thereof in accordance with the input signal to said control means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A power supply as in claim 2 including a capacitor and resistor connected across the output leads.
