Abstract:
A high speed a. c. voltage regulator comprises a transformer having a plurality of switchable primary windings across which an unregulated voltage is impressed and which control the regulated voltage, and a secondary winding across which the regulated voltage is generated. During a regulation period, which comprises one cycle of the unregulated voltage frequency, peak unregulated input voltage is compared against an upward ramping reference voltage to control a source of clock pulses, where the instantaneous level of the reference voltage is related to the number of clock pulses generated during a regulation period. The number of clock pulses generated during a regulation period controls the switchable windings.
