Abstract: A DC-to-AC inverter includes first and second resonant circuit loops each including a capacitor, a primary coil of an output circuit, a silicon control rectifier providing a current path in one direction around the loop, and a conventional diode providing a current path in the opposite direction around the loop. A DC source is connected to supply a charging current through charging chokes to the capacitors in the resonant circuit loops. The silicon control rectifiers are periodically and alternately rendered conductive each to start a cycle of oscillation in one resonant circuit loops, while the DC source provides current to charge the capacitor in the other resonant circuit loop. The charging chokes and primary coils are phased to supply voltages which add to the voltage of the DC source during the charging of the capacitors.
