Simple reactor circuit operation and mode transition

METHODS for designing simple saturable-reactor magnetic amplifiers and predicting their performance on the basis of observed phenomena have been known for some time. However, the literature in the field is still lacking a complete analysis of saturable-reactor circuitry on the oasis of the mechanics of operation. This analysis utilizes the volt-second approach developed by R. A. Ramey¹ to analyze completely the simple series saturable-reactor circuit in both its transient and steady states.
