Analysis of the Harmonic Producer Circuits

Abstract

This study introduces a mathematical method for the analysis of the harmonic producer circuits with a ferromagnetic saturable core coil, taking the effect of magnetic hysteresis into consideration. This method is based on the theorems of the Periodically Interrupted Electric Circuits of the Third Genus, and on the application of the Digital Computer (KDC-1). First we describe in general how to apply this analytical method to the basic circuit of harmonic producers to clarify its behaviour as accurately as possible, and next to the harmonic producer circuit containing an additional capacitor. One numerical example is presented to show the performance of the harmonic producer circuit in this paper.
