Abstract

Abstract A supply for an AC (alternating current) output having a constant voltage and a constant frequency to a load such as computers. A constant voltage/frequency power supply apparatus is provided which includes at least a constant voltage/frequency output circuit including a converter, connected between an AC power source and the load, for DC-converting the AC output of this power source, and an inverter for AC-inverting the DC-converted output, a control circuit for controlling the inverter of the output circuit, and further a correction circuit for deleting as a DC magnetic polarization amount a DC component contained in the AC output of the output circuit, and for deleting a DC magnetic polarization amount from the AC output supplied to the load, based upon the detected DC magnetic polarization amount, whereby a sine wave AC output having a constant voltage/frequency which is not adversely influenced by the DC magnetic polarization is supplied to the load.
