Summary:A step-up/down AC voltage regulator is proposed, in which a tap-changing transformer and a pulsewidth modulation (PWM) AC chopper are combined. The proposed regulator can step up or down the output voltage to input voltage. Also, the proposed regulator restrains more harmonics of output voltage compared to the conventional PWM regulator. The input current flows continuously in the proposed regulator, while it flows discontinuously in the conventional PWM regulator. Through digital simulation, several characteristics are investigated theoretically and then compared with those of conventional schemes. Practical verification of the theoretical predictions is presented to confirm the capabilities of the proposed regulator
