Abstract :
A single magnetic component is combined with a single capacitor to provide a circuit that converts a constant voltage input into a constant current output. Leakage reactance purposely built into the transformer tunes with the capacitor to provide a monocyclic reactive network. The equivalent circuit for the magnetic component is also useful for understanding transformers with more than two legs. A breadboard three-phase transformer was used to obtain waveforms illustrating transformer performance.
