Detailed analysis of the Energy Recovery Transformer (Ref. 1) for the Three Thyristor Chopper showed this chopper to be unsuitable for frequencies above 600 Hz. Also the Energy Recovery Transformer turned out to be a large, noisy and expensive item. After a re-appraisal of chopper theory, a four thyristor...
