DC POWER CONVERSION-TRANSVERTERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4293870
The mechaninm by which transistor drive-limiting causes switching in transformer coupled transverters is described for the non-saturating transformer case and is then extended to the saturating transformer case. The design equations for transverters are derived, and some of the design considerations are discussed. A discussion of the four transistor bridge circuit in comparison with the usual push-pull circuit is included. The advantages of a separate saturating transformer for both circuits are presented and a new method of using capacitor coupling to the saturating transformer primary for increasing switching speed is described.
