Abstract

Abstract A power source with a sparkproof output, comprising a transformer with a rectifier, a spark proofing unit for limiting electric energy released as a result of commutation of the output circuit of the power source, which incorporates an inductive element, made in the present embodiment in the form of a choke, and thyristors and is connected to the output of the rectifier, characterized, in accordance with the invention, in that it is provided with an automatic reclosing unit designed to restore the output electric parameters of the power source after operation of the spark proofing unit and built around additional thyristors, whose number corresponds to that of output windings of the transformer, each additional thyristor being connected in parallel with a respective output winding, and diodes incorporated in the control circuits of the additional thyristors.
