| 7187149 | Commutation technique for an AC-to-AC converter based on state machine control A system for controlling a commutation of a load current is provided. The system comprises a AC-to-AC converter that includes a plurality of switching elements, an energy source that provides an oscillating voltage and is connected to the converter, an electrical lo... | 03/06/2007 |
| 4748395 | Dual voltage electrical system A dual voltage motor vehicle electrical system wherein a pair of batteries are connected in series across the direct voltage output terminals of a bridge rectifier that is connected to a polyphase output winding of an alternating current generator. First ... | 05/31/1988 |
| 4295190 | Bank selection in naturally commutated thyristor controlled static power converters 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, th... | 10/13/1981 |
| 4028609 | Digital firing pulse generator with pulse suppression A digital firing pulse generator for thyristor rectifiers in a power converter system uses a time dependent waveform to trigger a one-shot multivibrator for generating a hard pulse of minimum duration and includes a free running oscillator generating a tr... | 06/07/1977 |
| 3942092 | Cycloconverter controlled rectifier protection circuit In a cycloconverter system, a circuit for maintaining the gate drive signal on the gate of each controlled rectifier when the gate drive command for the controlled rectifier terminates prior to the time when the controlled rectifier would normally become ... | 03/02/1976 |
