Abstract
An electronic control and regulating system for AC-operated appliances, especially universal motors and with symmetrical phase control. The control circuit includes among other things an inductive current-voltage converter 9, the primary side 8 of which is connected to the load current circuit and in which, in addition to the converter function, the inductivity of the secondary winding 10 is used and becomes a component of a resonant circuit 20 which is tuned approximately to the frequency of the AC voltage source. The feedback variable of the control system is formed by the resonant circuit voltage, i.e. the resonant circuit impedance, which depends not only on the magnitude of the load current but also on the phase angle of the load current. This quasi-resonance effect makes possible a direct influence of the trigger circuit which consists customarily of a trigger capacitor 13, a load resistor 11 and a trigger diode 15 and is possible without excessive use of additional circuit elements.
