ABSTRACT:
An a.c. voltage regulator includes a three terminal thyristor connected across an a.c. power source in series with a load. The thyristor is associated with a time constant circuit comprising a variable resistor and a capacitor and which is connected therewith through a trigger pulse generating element, thus providing a phase control over the conduction of the thyristor. A voltage divider is connected across the main terminals of the thyristor, namely, those terminals excluding the gate terminal, and is connected with gate terminal through a capacitor and is also connected with the time constant circuit through the trigger pulse producing element. A constant voltage diode is connected across the time constant circuit.
