It utilizes thyristors to smoothly buck or boost the input voltage to the proper level to compensate for variations in input voltage or load, and maintains plus or minus 1/2% output voltage regulation. Correction to within 5% of normal voltage is possible within 1 cycle after a step input or load change. The output harmonics introduced by the thyristor control are attenuated to 5% or less by the use of a unique parametric filter which permits stable operation even with severely non-linear loads. Configurations for single and three phase service are described. Effects of load unbalance and overload are discussed. Provisions for attenuation of input over-voltage transient is made with an accessory transient suppression circuit. Initial experience in applying this regulator in uninterruptible power systems is related.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134144480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bias winding gives each core a different amount of ac mmf to decide the order of a flux varying. The values of the switching angles are decided by the number of layers of amorphous tape and the supply voltage to the common windings wound on all cores. Output voltage is regulated by the feedback. The frequency change is compensated by an integrator with a signal made of induced voltages of the core unit.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133427782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design in question is based upon original Telettra technologies and has been given preference to over other solutions such as undersea's cables or troposcattering radio links by its advantages such as functionality, reliability and cost. An outstanding feature is formed by photovoltaic generators used to feed the repeater stations situated in mountainous zones at a height of more than twothousand meters. As far as we know these solar generators are the most powerful ones so far used to feed a telecommunication system.
