Thyristor converters using saturable reactors

The dc to ac and ac to ac series converters have been discussed in earlier publications.[1]-[3] These systems are used with minimum component ratings at a fixed load resistance and a fixed output frequency.[1] The ranges of operation of the load and the frequency can be increased by using saturable reactors and variable capacitors. These systems are analyzed and the preferred operating conditions are discussed. Theoretical results are supplemented with the experimental results.
