ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A NEW BREED OF CONSTANT VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS

A Novel method of analysing the performance of Constant Voltage Transf ormers (CVT), also known as Ferroresonant Voltage Regulators, is descr ibed. Synthesis of core configuration and analysis, using strip wound cut-cores instead of conventional stamped laminations, for CVT, are en umerated. Due to these two features, the design procedure is distinctl y laid down, so that trial and error method of making a CVT is elimina ted. The specific advantages of using cut-cores is clearly brought out . Results from practical models establish the feasibility of the propo sed method.
