The Systematic Errors of a Time-Division Power Converter under Sinusoidal and Nonsinusoidal Conditions

Systematic errors of an astable multivibrator based time-division active power converter are analyzed. Results of a computer simulation for sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal input signals are compared with test measurements of a standard converter. The paper shows that a conversion error of the power converter can be estimated from the harmonic content of the input waveforms.
