Abstract
An energy convertor for generating a power output waveform that contains a fundamental sine wave and a controlled amount of the third harmonic wave to eliminate the sinusoidal peaks and to provide a desired flat top at reduced amplitude. The synchronized generation of the third harmonic is achieved in combination with a new inductor that enhances the harmonic in the magnetic path around the inductor.
Claims13
An energy converter for converting AC-power to an output having a desired power waveform comprising,
- circuit means for receiving an AC-power waveform,
- said circuit means having output means for solely enhancing the fundamental and third harmonic of the AC-power waveform into a composit power output waveform,
- and reactor means for current limiting the AC power waveform to said output means and for providing buffer impedance to said output means.
