Abstract :
The steady-state operation of the self-saturating magnetic amplifiers with rectified RC (resistance capacitance) loads is studied. Steady-state gain expressions are derived for square wave and sinusoidal gate supplies. Approximate methods for the evaluation of output quantities are given using a nomogram to simplify the calculations. Certain types of half-cyclic asymmetries peculiar to the capacitive loading are explained and criteria for their practical avoidance are given.
