Electric Lighting and Power Controllers Therefor |
| Abstract: |
In a lighting power controller having a controllable switch (such as a
thyristor), in order to compensate for perturbations in the mains supply
waveform, the waveform is analyzed and a table is set up of thyristor
firing angle against output RMS voltage. To obtain a desired output RMS
voltage, the thyristor is fired at the angle indicated by the table.
