The derivation and application of design equations for ferroresonant voltage regulators and regulated rectifiers

Design equations for the most commonly used ferroresonant regulators and regulated rectifiers are derived. Expressions relating the physical size of the components and the short circuit characteristic of the circuit to the output power, frequency, input power factor, and voltage levels are developed. Frem these expressions, design equations that optimize the design are obtained and specific component values are recommended. For regulated rectifiers, the design of the filter and the effect of the filter on the design of the basic regulator are discussed. The effect of deviating from the recommended values and the effects of nonlinearities not considered in the derivations are discussed, Design examples and data are presented.
