Abstract
Provided are improvements for systems and methods of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) power regulation. The system improvements include a regulation circuit having a microprocessor that controls a silicon controlled rectifier circuit. Method improvements include one or more of SCR load sharing, adaptive voltage droop compensation, and/or voltage rebound compensation.
Claims2
A method comprising the steps of:
- using a microprocessor,
- sensing a battery voltage level;
- sensing a plurality of phases of alternating current received at a plurality of phase inputs;
- comparing the battery voltage level to a predetermined rower charge limit value;
- and,
- if the battery voltage level is less than the lower charge limit value, activating each of a plurality of silicon controlled rectifiers in an alternating fashion, where such activation is substantially synchronized to predetermined states of at least one of a plurality of alternating current electronic signals received at the plurality of phase inputs.
