Abstract
Abstract An improvement is disclosed for converting variable input voltages to alternating current outputs of constant voltage. The circuit provides a lighter, more simple and more economical converter by providing a second output transformer with a feedback circuit connected to actuate switching transistors and a saturable input transformer. The power, which may have been of either alternating or direct current origin, is converted to alternating current and fed to a first output transformer for gross conversion and to a second output transformer for finer adjustments to the desired constant output voltage.
