A multiphase to single phase electrical energy converter wherein the frequency is converted from a relatively high frequency, in the order of 1,000 hertz, to a relatively low frequency, as for example, normal household frequency of 60 hertz. A three-phase alternator is driven by an internal combustion engine and in one form of the invention the output of the alternator is fed to a controllable, full-wave bridge circuit and finally to an inverter. The controllable bridge circuit is controlled by a resolver, the resolver, alternator rotor and internal combustion engine all operating at the same rotary speed. In the one form the resolver is utilized to control the conduction of a plurality of controlled semiconductor devices interconnected between the output windings of the alternator and the invertor to control the delivery of energy from the alternator to the inverter. In another form the controlled semiconductor devices are replaced by a modified resolver. In accomplishing the control, the controlled rectifiers or modified resolver are rendered conductive to provide an average current or power to the inverter which increases and decreases in a unipolar sinusoidal form at a frequency which is twice the desired output frequency. The bridge circuit then provides an output to an inverter device which is rotating at one-half the speed of the resolver, the inverter being utilized to invert every other cycle of the output from the resolver. Thus, the power from the inverter will take the form of an alternating sinusoid waveform insofar as the power output is concerned at 60 hertz. |

A power supply for use with different AC line voltages, which includes a power transformer having a plurality of separate primary windings and a corresponding plurality of fuses connected thereto. The primary windings are connected to each other in several different ways to change the turns ratio of the power transformer depending upon the value of the voltage supplied thereto. Thus, a predetermined voltage is produced in the secondary winding of the transformer irrespective of the value of the supplied AC line voltage and the current flowing through each of the fuses is held substantially constant, during normal operating conditions, regardless of the manner in which the separate primary windings are connected.

A transformer power supply for a remote controlled receiver provides reduced filament power in the OFF condition by increasing the primary to secondary turns ratio for the filament supply winding when the receiver is turned OFF. At the same time, the number of turns in the secondary winding supplying the remote control circuits is increased in the same ratio as the increase in the primary turns so as to maintain a constant operating voltage to the remote control circuits, thus enabling the receiver to be turned ON remotely. Switching of the turns in the various windings is provided by a relay connected across the lowvoltage portion of the remote control supply winding.

Isolated Dynamic-Current (“Dyna-C”) converters are converters that convert incoming 3-phase AC or DC power to a mix of DC and AC power via an isolation link. In various embodiments, the isolation link is a high-frequency isolation transformer. Isolated Dyna-C converters may provide a high-frequency galvanic isolation and are able to convert three-phase AC power to three-phase AC power, or three-phase AC power to DC and vice versa. The topology is minimal and the costs are low. Isolated Dyna-C converters provide fast current responses and keep the losses low by using a simplified two-stage conversion and providing a magnetizing current that is dynamically controllable and tailored to the load. An isolated Dyna-C converter may synthesize currents at its input or output ports with an arbitrary phase that is relative to the grid or load voltages, thereby enabling a full independent control over the active and reactive power at its ports. |
