Abstract

A control apparatus for supplying a load device, such as a motor, from a d.c. supply, by means of semiconductor control devices, particularly controlled rectifiers. A capacitor is charged through the load, through a circuit including one semiconductor control device, and the capacitor is then discharged through the load, direction of current flow through the load the same as the charging current, by a second semiconductor control device. The frequency of operation is variable; the apparatus can be adapted to give current flow always in one direction or always in the opposite direction through the load.
