  • Patent number: 4326246
    Abstract: Inverted current rectifier with self commutation for smaller and medium output and three-stage commutation in which the disconnection of thyristors of the inverted rectifier and the current commutation in the phases are separated and the accumulated power of capacitors of the inverted rectifier is, without losses, discharged to the current source and thus to the load of the inverted rectifier.

  • Patent number: 4318171
    Abstract: A three phase current inverter has a commutation circuit wherein a blocking voltage is generated which is applied from the anode to the cathode of the main control thyristors. The load current from the then-conductive phase is simultaneously transferred to the commutating or disconnect circuit. A separate accumulation circuit including a capacitor then takes over the load current, the energy stored in the load inductance being transferred to the capacitance in the accumulation circuit. The control thyristor for the next phase is switched to the conductive state, current is transferred from the accumulation circuit to the subsequent output phase and from the load of the first phase to the load of the second phase. The capacitor in the disconnect circuit is smaller than that in the accumulation circuit so that optimum characteristics for both circuits are obtained.

  • Patent number: 4139788
    Abstract: A test circuit for determining when one of a number of source voltages deviates from its set point. Each source voltage has coordinated comparison circuit which compares the voltage with a preset value, and which has a limited range of output voltage. Each comparison circuit has its output connected to a switching circuit. The output of each switching circuit is connected to a short circuit coil of one coupling transformer. The coupling transformer is fed from an auxiliary current source through an auxiliary coil and has as output a pick-up coil connected to an evaluation device.
