Circuit converts an rms, ac voltage to a proportional dc voltage with good accuracy over a voltage range of approximately 6-1. It incorporates a pair of vacuum thermocouples in a dc feedback circuit.
Converter uses solid-state ac-to-dc rectification circuitry, filter circuitry, a tuned transformer, ac chopper circuitry, and an automatic current-control network. It has a dc power source which operates from 5 to 100 percent load at a 72 to 94 input to output efficiency.
