The primary winding of a high leakage inductance transformer is coupled to a source of alternating input voltage to develop alternating polarity output voltages across tightly coupled secondary windings, including a high voltage winding of the transformer. Various DC supply voltages, including the ultor voltage, are derived from the secondary winding output voltages. To regulate the secondary winding output voltages, a ferroresonant circuit comprising a capacitor and a saturable reactor is coupled as a load circuit to one of the transformer secondary windings. When the saturable reactor magnetically saturates during each half cycle of the alternating polarity output voltage, a circulating current is generated and flows between the saturable reactor and the capacitor. To enhance the power supply efficiency and reduce the temperature rise within the magnetizable core of the saturable reactor, the parameters of the transformer and ferroresonant load circuit are selected so as to generate a relatively low amplitude circulating current. To improve output voltage regulation when a low amplitude circulating current is developed, a compensating drive winding is provided that is magnetically tightly coupled with the primary winding of the high leakage transformer. The compensating drive winding is coupled in series with the saturable reactor winding across the capacitor and polarized relative to the capacitor coupled transformer secondary so as to oppose the tendency of the output voltage amplitude or half-cycle volt-second area to vary with variations in input voltage amplitude. |
