Voltage regulator system using magnetic controllers

A voltage regulator system for receiving relatively high frequency electrical energy from a source and providing a regulated relatively low frequency electrical energy output, comprising:

• a converter means for receiving the relatively high frequency electrical energy and converting the received relatively high frequency electrical energy and outputting a relatively low frequency electrical energy output;
• a passive device sensing means comprising only electrically passive components connected to the converter means for sensing the voltage of the relatively low frequency electrical energy outputted via the converter means and providing output control signals indicative of the sensed output voltage;
• a first magnetic controller having current windings and control windings, the current windings of the first magnetic controller being connected in electrical parallel with the converter means and the source of relatively high frequency electrical energy and the control windings of the first magnetic controller receiving one of the control signals from the passive device sensing means;
• and
• a second magnetic controller having current windings and control windings, the current windings of the second magnetic controller being connected in electrical series between the converter means and the source of relatively high frequency electrical energy and the control windings of the second magnetic controller receiving one of the control signals from the passive device sensing means, the first and the second magnetic controllers receiving the control signals from the passive device sensing means and cooperating to controllingly vary the voltage of the relatively low frequency electrical energy outputted via the converter means to maintain the outputted relatively low frequency electrical energy voltage at substantially a predetermined value.
