ABSTRACT:
Prior VSCF inverters have utilized relatively expensive bipolar transistors and associated base drive circuits together with an input autotransformer which unduly add to the cost and weight of the system. In order ot overcome these problems, a VSCF power converter includes an inverter which utilizes less expensive power switches such as insulated gate bipolar transistors, MOS controlled thyristors or power FET's, together with an output autotransformer coupled between the inverter output and a filter input which eliminates the need for the input autotransformer. The present system is less expensive and lighter than prior VSCF power converters.
