Transient Response in a Converter Controlled by a Magnetic Amplifier

The relationship between the magnetic characteristics of a saturable reactor core and its transient response in converters controlled by magnetic amplifiers is presented. The linear operating region in the converters depends on the permeability μ
_s
in the saturation region of the saturable reactor core. It was found that excellent transient response can be obtained by using a low μ
_s
core.
