Abstract :
TWO MAGNETIC UNITS A and B, Figure 1, are used as saturable reactors, and the load consists of inductance LL and resistance RL. The gate current iG, flowing through the gate windings X1 to X2, is discontinuous and flows in rectangular pulses whose amplitude is the same as that of the load current. Thus the average value of the load current IL is larger than the average value of the gate current IG.
