Abstract :
Based on the principle of the regulating transformer booster, a new voltage regulator is described which selects parts of the supply-voltage waveform by means of phase-controlled thyristor switches and thus provides fast and variable voltage boost. Two different types of control are investigated and their performance is analysed with different types of load. Various experiments are done to substantiate the analytical investigation.
