Abstract

The ripple factor in an electrical power supply of a dc-dc voltage raising type is reduced by using two double alternation dc/ac converters driven in phase quadrature with respect to each other. The signals delivered by the dc/ac converters are then combined by two transformers, the secondary coils of which are series connected. It is shown that the ripple factor is reduced and, similarly, that the reactive energy due to the commutation of th dc/ac converters is reduced even if it so happens that the power transmitted is doubled.
