Magnetic amplifier analysis. David L. Lafuze. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 440 Park Ave. South, New York 16, N. Y. 1962; 252 pages, bound; $9.75. A general approach to magnetic amplifier circuit analysis is used in this book, based on the equivalent circuit and the block diagram of the servo loop. Simple relationships for calculating amplifier performance from basic core properties are formulated and related to results throughout the book. Both half-wave and full-wave amplifiers are discussed, and transient function generation is covered.
