In power conversion apparatus such as a naturally commutated cycloconverter for use in converting the output of a variable speed generator to a constant frequency, there is provided an end stop control circuit for ensuring commutation of power switching devices that includes timing wave generators for both rectification and inversion end stops. The timing wave generators are phase locked with the generator outputs but are controllable by end stop bias signal derived from a variable system parameter that may be independent of the source, such as load current to provide prompt protection against converter malfunctions due to excess load currents.Further provided is an excess current detector employing, for each phase, a pair of high slew rate, high current unipolar output op amps connected in a voltage follower configuration with a common pull-up resistor and a common load capacitor to develop a peak current signal representing the greater of the positive and negative peaks of the alternating phase current.

Induction heating apparatus using gate-controlled switching devices includes a zero crossing point detector for detecting the occurrence of each zero crossing point of high frequency energization current, and a timing circuit which provides timing action in response to the detected zero crossing point. The timing action is controlled by a power control circuit which detects the level of energy delivered to a load within a range from the inherent turn-off time of the gate-controlled switching devices to a desired value.

A variable frequency power supply device supplies an AC power to a squirrel-cage motor through an AC parameter control. The control receives a command active current resulting from a command torque and a command exciting current to generate a resultant current and its phase. The command torque is produced from the actual and command motor speeds and the exciting current is caused from the actual motor speed. The control also receives a command frequency determined by the actual motor frequency and a command slip frequency also resulting from the command torque. The control controls the firing phases of thyristors in the power supply device in response to the command current, phase and frequency. The control may generate a voltage for supplying the active current and an exciting voltage to similarly control the firing phases of the thyristors. In the latter case, the exciting voltage may be added with its differential to compensate for a rapid change in active current.

Firing pulses to the thyristors in the nonload carrying bank of a naturally commutated power circuit of a static power converter are inhibited only after the current therethrough actually goes to zero. Where the thyristors are arranged in pulse groups, the firing pulses to each group are inhibited separately and in some instances not all groups in the nonload carrying bank are inhibited. Termination of current flow through a thyristor group is determined by comparing the group output voltage with a composite signal representative of the intended group voltage which is generated by summing selected portions of the source voltages applied to the group. Further firing of the thyristors in the group is inhibited only after the difference between these two signals exceeds a preset threshold value for an interval at least equal in duration to the thyristor reverse recovery time.

The quality of the output waveform of a cycloconverter is greatly improved by a feedback loop that compensates for the inherent nonlinearity of the converter forward gain. A feedback signal, preferably proportional to the current through the shunt capacitor of the converter output filter, is multiplied by a compensating signal generated by full wave rectification of the cycloconverter AC reference signal with the resultant signal summed in opposition with the reference signal before it is applied to the converter control circuit. Alternatively a more precise compensating signal can be generated through 90.degree. phase shifting and negative going full wave rectification of the sinusoidal cycloconverter reference signal.

An induction heating apparatus includes a pair of thyristors inversely parallel connected to receive power from a low frequency energy source, a commutating circuit and a gating control circuit for supplying control pulses to the thyristors to produce a forward halfwave current through the commutating circuit which in return produces a backward commutating current to the thyristors. The gating control circuit includes a pulse transformer having a pair of secondary windings connected to the thyristors and a primary winding responsive to control pulses supplied from a pulse generator to produce a positive gating pulse in each of the secondary windings to drive one of the thyristors into conduction depending on the polarity of the source voltage to produce the forward current. The control pulse has a longer duration than the maximum duration of the forward halfwave current so that upon cessation of the forward current the other thyristor is gated into conduction to allow the backward commutating current to pass therethrough to complete an oscillation cycle. A counterelectromotive force is generated in the secondary windings in response to the trailing edge of the positive gating pulse to negatively bias the thyristor to quickly turn it off.

Apparatus for conversion of alternating current at a first frequency to alternating current at a second (lower) frequency in a power control circuit by means of progressive variation of magnetic flux in associated magnetic paths. Control is achieved by progressive saturation or domain rotation for selected portions of the magnetic paths to yield a uniformly controllable permeance within the magnetic paths. Feedback circuits provide a means for external control of the output in combination with a reference source.

In an induction heating cooking apparatus, the frequency of electromagnetic energy is varied in response to a desired power setting level within an allowable range and the duty cycle of the energy is varied in response to the setting level while the frequency is set at the lower limit of the allowable range. The combined effects of frequency and duty cycle controls permit the power to vary from as low as 50 watts to as high as 2 kilowatts.
