Abstract
A ferroresonant transformer system has a core, a shunt, first and second input windings, an inverter winding, a tank winding, a resonant capacitor, an output capacitor, and a plurality of switches. The tank winding defines a plurality of switch tap locations and at least two output tap locations. The resonant capacitor is connected across at least a portion of the tank winding. Each switch is operatively connectable between one of the switch tap locations and the resonant capacitor. Each output terminal is operatively connected to one of the at least two output tap locations.
