Description
United States Patent 3,037,159 REGULATED POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM Harold J. Brown, 6947 College Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. Filed June 4, 1959, Ser. No. 818,232 3 Claims. (Cl. 321-18) (Granted under Title 35, U.S. Code (1952), sec. 266) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
The present invention relates to a regulated power supply system and more particularly to a power supply system that will provide a constant direct current voltage output.
Many commercial and military devices require the use of reliable voltage regulated power sources. capable of producing a constant DC. output voltage under varying conditions of line supply voltage, frequency and environmental conditions. Various systems have been devised in the past to provide a regulated source of D.C. voltage. Many of these systems employ vacuum tubes or thyratron preamplifiers and consequently, cannot be subjected to very strenuous shocks or vibrations. Also, when a short time-constant system is desired, heretofore available systems become grotesque and unwieldly with characteristically low efficiency even at high loads.
The present invention provides a novel system for supplying regulated DC voltage and the apparatus is small and compact and provides fast response. An input of alternating current is applied to a magnetic amplifier controller, the output of which is fed to a transformer and then rectified. A reference voltage source comprised of zener diodes is provided and when the reference voltage is larger than the rectified voltage output the current in the reference voltage source bypasses the zener diodes and the magnetic amplifier controller has minimum holdback. On the other hand, when the reference voltage output is less than the rectified voltage output, the current will flow through the zener diodes and the magnetic amplifier controller has maximum holdback. The rectified voltage output is supplied to a filter choke having first and second equal windings. A third winding in the filter choke is provided and this winding is connected in series with a second choke. This second choke has an inductance just suflicient to maintain current flow in the zener diodes in the reference voltage source.
It is, therefore, a general object of the present invention to provide an improved system for controlling the rectified voltage to a load.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a voltage regulating system having a very fast response time.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description When considered in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the principal components. of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic view embodying the present invention.
Refer-ring now to FIG. 1 of the drawing, it can be seen that rectified current is supplied to a filter element 8 from an alternating current supply source through a circuit comprising a controller 9, a transformer 10, and a rectifier unit 11. The transformer 10* is center-tapped and a voltage reference bridge 12 is connected to the center-tap of transformer 10 and to the filter element 8. Referring now to FIG. 2 of the drawing, it can be seen that the controller 9 includes a magnetic amplifier 3,037,159 Patented May 29, 1962 13 having diode elements 14 and 15 together with gate windings 16 and 17 which are wound, respectively, upon gapless magnetic cores 18 and 19. Control winding 20 is wound on both cores 18 and I19. Bias winding 21 is provided and is energized from the A.C. voltage source through rectifier elements 22 to 25, inclusive, and bias resistance element 26. The output of the controller 9 is connected to the primary winding 27 of transformer 10. Rectifiers 31 to 34, inclusive, are connected to the secondary winding 35 of transformer 10. The secondary winding 35 is center-tapped and a voltage reference bridge 12 has one terminal connected to the center-tap of secondary winding 35. An integrating filter reactor 36, having equal windings 37 and 38 in opposite legs, is connected to the output of rectifiers 31 to 34, inclusive. A control bridge winding 39 is provided and has one end connected to one output terminal, and a control circuit filter inductor 40 is connected in series between control bridge winding 39 and the voltage reference bridge 12. The number of turns of control bridge winding 39 is equal to the number of turns of winding 37.
Referring still to FIG. 2 of the drawing, it can be seen that the voltage reference bridge 12 is comprised of voltage reference elements 41 and 42 and resistors 43 and 44. By way of example, the voltage reference elements 41 and 42 may be zener diodes. The resistors 43 and 44, and voltage reference elements 41 and 42, are connected in bridge relation, as shown in the drawing. Control winding 20 in controller 9 is energized by the voltage reference bridge 12 through the control circuit filter inductor 40 and the control bridge winding 39. The voltage reference elements 41 and 42 are chosen such as to add up to one half the desired output voltage.
Controller 9 is capable of maximum holdback when a negative current flows through control winding 20, A positive control current flowing through winding 20 will cause a minimum holdback. Bias resistance element 26 is so chosen that the change in holdback occurs at zero control current, or when the voltage reference bridge 12 is in balance.
In operation, an alternating current voltage is applied to the input of the controller 9. By way of example, and not of limitation, this A.C. voltage may be of the order of volts and may vary between 95 and volts. The controller 9 reduces this voltage to approximately 85 volts average and applies it to the primary winding 27 of transformer 10. Transformer 10 steps up this voltage to volts A.C. average value, and this stepped-up voltage is supplied to the rectifier unit 11 which in turn provides a direct current voltage having an average value of 160 volts. It is this direct current voltage that is to be maintained at a constant value even though the input voltage may be varying by as much as 30 percent.
The center-tap connection 45 from transformer 10 provides a direct current output of one-half the rectified output, or 80 volts, which is supplied to the voltage reference bridge 12. When this 80 volts output exceeds by a small increment the sum of the voltage reference elements 41 and 42, which in this example would be chosen to equal 80 volts, a large negative current will flow in the control winding 20 by virtue of the low resistance of the control path, and the magnetic amplifier 13 will provide maximum holdback. The current flow would be from center-tap 45 through voltage reference element 41, through control winding 20, then through voltage reference element 42 and control circuit filter inductor 40.
When the output from the center-tap 45 of transformer 10 is slightly under the sum of the voltage reference elements, at positive current will flow through control winding 20 and the magnetic amplifier v13 will provide a minimum holdback. The current flow will be from centertap 45 of transformer through resistor 44, then through control winding 20, resistor 43 and control circuit filter inductor 40, in that order.
Heretofore, control circuits that have been connected to the output of a regulated direct current power supply would oscillate at the natural frequency of the filter system. In the present invention, the introduction of the control bridge winding 39 eliminates the dynamical reaction of the filter system and yet the direct current voltage is transferred to the voltage reference bridge 12. In order to maintain conduction in the voltage reference bridge over the entire alternating current cycle, the control circuit filter inductor 40 is provided. It can thus be seen that by deliberately reintroducing the alternating current component of the output voltage, and resuppressing it in a separate element, that absolute stability is achieved. Thus amplifiers, derivative circuits, and the like, are not necessary in order to obtain a very high degree of accuracy and stability.
A regulated power supply system has been built at the US. Naval Avionics Facility according to the principles of the present invention and this system has proven to be an extremely reliable one with a marked degree of stability. It has been shown that the system is capable of holding the direct current output so that it will not vary more than one-one hundredth of a percent, even though the alternating current may be varying by as much as thirty (30) percent.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. Particularly it should be understood that the foregoing disclosure relates to only a preferred embodiment and that where values are set forth that these were intended for purposes of illustration and not of limitation.
