AUDIO FREQUENCY GENERATORS USING SILICON CON TROLLED RECTIFIERS. POWER INVERTERS THAT DELIVER 0.5-MEGAWATT PULSES, AT 10 TO 700 C/S, FROM DC OR THREE-PHASE AC SOURCES,

Abstract

The two SCR inverters developed afford consid erable weight and volume advantages over con ventional ac power supplies. They can deliver 0.5-megawatt pulses in the frequency range from 10 to 700 c/s. These inverters use commercially available 200- and 400-ampere SCR's. Recently, 800 ampere units have been introduced; use of these would permit the construction of inverters with even greater size advantages. Sea tests with the dc inverter have proved satisfactory. The more recently completed ac-rectifier inverter has not yet been subjected to field trials. In view of their size advantages, it is recommended that further development of these SCR inverters be undertaken to convert them into Fleet opera tional equipment. (Author)
