Abstract: A magamp circuit including a saturable reactor for regulating the output energy delivered to a load and having a protective circuit for restricting energy flow to the load in the event of occurrence of a short-circuit at the load. Output energy fluctuations are reduced through the use of a non-linear feed forward response circuit. A circuit which compensates for an unwanted voltage reset applied to the saturable reactor due to reverse current leakage or reverse recovery energy of a protective diode is also provided.
