Abstract:
A static voltage regulator including an input and an output, the voltage regulator comprising:a booster transformer including a booster primary winding and a booster secondary winding, the booster secondary being provided in series with the input and the output for producing an output voltage;a regulator transformer including a regulator primary winding and a regulator secondary winding, the regulator primary being electrically coupled to the output;an electronic switching system coupled between the regulator secondary and the booster primary for providing a voltage to the booster primary;a control system including a voltage sensor for sensing a voltage at the input, and a gating system coupled to the switching system for switching the output voltage in response to changes in the sensed input voltage; anda notch filter coupled to the booster transformer for reducing transients induced in the booster transformer when the output voltage is switched.
