Abstract
An improved alternating current prime mover control system and method for, for example, the control of a valve position or other physical variable whose state can be sensed or calculated wherein the state of the physical variable is compared with a reference variable to generate, in conjunction with a waveform generator, a fixed amplitude signal that has variable time duration which feeds a part of the control system that drives the alternating current prime mover source in more than one direction.
