A Magnetic Amplifier using nanocrystalline soft magnetic material

Abstract

A Magnetic Amplifier using saturable reactor with nanocrystalline soft magnetic material is presented. A method of obtaining the frequency response is presented. Experimental results show that the method is adequate and practical. Moreover it is shown that the efficiency of the Magnetic Amplifier is comparable to the switching power supply with primary control, despite the existence of additional saturable reactors.
