Abstract:
A system for preventing magnetic saturation and for controlling and managing DC offset in a transformer cores. A magnetic flux sensor is disposed within a bore within the core transformer core. The sensor transmits a sensor output that is continuously received by a processor that is programed to continuously compare in real time the sensor output with a stored selectable maximum flux sensor output value. Responsive to the comparison of real-time sensor output value to the stored maximum value, the microprocessor either allows, during each driving voltage half-cycle, the driving voltage to continue unabated while the sensor output remains below the selectable maximum value, or triggers a gate to modify the driving voltage for the remainder of the half-cycle when the selectable maximum value is reached. The processor is also programed to process, in parallel or separately, the flux sensor output for each phase half-cycle to continuously compute a flux-second integral for each half-cycle, and to continuously compare them to each other for an instantaneous DC offset value and to add a DC voltage to the phase half-cycle that is deficient and or to subtract a DC voltage from the phase half-cycle that is contributing to the DC offset to effect minimal DC offset.
