Abstract

A switchmode AC power controller for controlling the current through a load such as a large lamp array connected to an alternating current source. The controller contains an AC solid state switch, a synchro-flywheel, an output inductor and capacitor. The load current is controlled by triggering signals generated by a synchronized modulator.
