Analysis of a single-core magnetic amplifier with real rectifier and core functions

A REVIEW of the literature concerned with magnetic amplifiers has disclosed a myriad of articles dealing with the load circuit and sometimes control circuit response of single-core amplifiers employing the self-saturation principle.1‾

Each of these discussions has utilized specific assumptions which are in each case aimed toward an ultimate simplification of the mathematical manipulations which finally lead to the required response. In many cases the predicted magnetic amplifier response suffers because of the assumptions thus used.
