Abstract

A direct current power supply which incorporates an alternating current circuit segment so as to enable the use of a reactive component as an impedance limiting circuit element. The alternating current is produced by pulse width modulation regulation of raw direct current and DC to AC inversion. A feedback circuit is provided to regulate the pulse width modulation in accordance with the direct current output by the power supply so as to obtain a desired output current.
