A method and system for controlling a dual output power converter of the type having a pair of input terminals connectable to a source of rectified AC power of variable voltage amplitude, a boosting circuit including a secondary winding of a boost transformer operatively coupled in circuit with the pair of input terminals for providing a boosted voltage onto a DC power bus, and a full-bridge inverter including at least one controllable switching device serially connected in each leg of the inverter. The inverter has an input connected to the DC bus and a pair of output terminals connected to respective ends of a primary winding of an output transformer, at least one of the pair of output terminals being connected in circuit with the primary winding of the boost transformer. The control system compares signals representative of the magnitude of the AC power voltage to signals representative of the DC bus voltage and varies the inverter frequency of operation in a manner to adjust the magnitude of the DC bus voltage to establish a preselected ratio of DC bus voltage to AC power voltage.

A resonant converter, including a transformer for separating a high-voltage (primary) side from a relatively low-voltage (secondary) side, has at least one synchronous rectifier and an auxiliary sense winding coupled to the gate thereof. The input capacitances of the synchronous rectifiers are reflected to the primary side and the secondary side by the square of the ratio of the number of auxiliary sense winding turns to the number of primary andsecondary winding turns, respectively, thereby reducing the required size of the discrete resonant capacitor. In one embodiment, a gate bias voltage approximately equal to the device threshold voltage is applied to the gate of the synchronous rectifiers. The auxiliary sense windings are etched into a conductive film pattern of the secondary windings. The auxiliary sense windings provide nearly identical secondary and gate drive voltages so that the synchronous rectifiers are gated substantially at the zero-voltage crossings of the secondary winding voltages. The result is a substantially lossless gate drive for synchronous rectifiers in high power density resonant converters.

A high efficiency gate driver circuit for driving a power switching device of a high frequency converter includes a series resonant circuit for making resonant transfers of energy between the input capacitance of the power switching device and a storage capacitor to achieve substantially lossless gate switching. An ac switch couples the resonant circuit to the junction between upper and lower switching devices connected in a half-bridge configuration. The upper and lower switches of the half-bridge function to maintain the power switching device in either an ON-state or an OFF-state, respectively, depending on the transfer of energy being made. Timing circuitry ensures proper gating of the switching devices relative to operation of the ac switch.

A resonant inverter is operated in a manner to provide a substantially constant output voltage to a load. The inverter is controlled using either a frequency control mode or a phase shift control mode. In the frequency control mode, a constant output voltage is maintained through frequency variation of the rectangular wave signal applied to the resonant circuit of the inverter. In the phase shift control mode, constant output voltage is maintained by phase shifting one component signal of the rectangular wave signal relative to another component signal thereof while maintaining constant the frequency of both component signals. Mode switching occurs automatically at the extremities of the operating frequency range of controllable switch means in the resonant inverter.

A single power converter is capable of drawing low distortion current from an AC line and delivering DC or AC power to a load. The single power converter is used to independently control the input current and the output current. The power converter transformer has an output winding which is controlled by pulse-width modulation (PWM) and a frequency controlled boost winding for controlling input current.

A single DC power switching converter feeds two DC load circuits from two transformer secondary windings. One winding is tightly coupled to the primary and its output voltage is controlled using pulse-width modulation. The other secondary winding is loosely coupled to the primary so that its leakage inductance resonates with a secondary capacitor such that its output is controlled by converter frequency adjustment. Thus, both output voltages are controlled using a single power switching stage.

A bipolar emitter switching transistor in an emitter switched gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) arrangement has a controllable switching device coupled between the base of the emitter switching transistor and the anode of the GTO so that base current needed for the bipolar emitter switching transistor, to obtain a low collector-emitter voltage drop during transistor conduction, is derived from the load circuit, resulting in a greatly reduced base drive power supply requirement.

A transistor is operated in the PWM mode such that a hlaf sine wave of current is delivered first to one-half of a distribution transformer and then the other as determined by steering thyristors operated at the fundamental sinusoidal frequency. Power to the transistor is supplied by a dc source such as a solar array and the power is converted such that a sinusoidal current is injected into a utility at near unity power factor.

A multipole permanent magnet rotor is positioned on a shaft and rotatably mounted in a multiphase stator having two windings per stator phase. A distributor comprising a pattern of conducting and non-conducting material is mounted to turn with the rotor shaft. Pickup "fingers" in contact with the distributor, gate appropriate FET's of the pairs of FET's associated with each stator phase in sequence, with timing dependent on the instantaneous shaft position, to generate a rotating flux field. A voltage across the windings provides the current for flux generation, and can be supplied by a full wave rectified single phase AC source. The speed of rotation of the motor can be controlled by varying the voltage supplied.

In an inverter-synchronous machine drive system wherein a synchronous machine is excited by an inverter from a source of direct current, a pair of controlled bidirectional conduction means are serially coupled across the source of direct current potential, and are coupled at their junction through a commutating capacitor to the machine neutral terminal. Each controlled bidirectional conduction means, together with corresponding phase connected thyristor within the inverter, is correspondingly gated in a predetermined sequence so as to cause alternating voltage to be applied across each corresponding machine phase for initial machine excitation.
