  • Abstract
    This paper describes a controllable direct-current supply in which the current is essentially independent of the load and in which very low ripple is achieved at essentially all values of controlled current output. The system consists of a 3-phase saturable reactor with a high-impedance control circuit used in conjunction with uncontrolled rectifiers. An analysis of the system is presented and experimental results are given.
