The shunt-loaded magnetic amplifier: Part II — Circuit arrangement and experimental results

Various circuit configurations of a new-type magnetic amplifier are discussed, and experimental results are reported. Output voltage is practically independent of large line voltage, load, and frequency variations. No waveshape distortion of the line voltage, as encountered with common magnetic amplifiers, is caused. Efficiency and power factor are high throughout the nominal operating range. The amplifier is especially suitable for application in accurately regulated d-c power supplies.
