Abstract
A method of adaptively controlling the time of rendering the individual controlled devices of a controllable power conversion bridge includes the sensing of the instant in time at which the current from the bridge to a load becomes discontinuous. From the time of this sensing, the time period to a predetermined time such as a normally calculated time of rendering the controlled devices conductive is derived. This time period is then multiplied by a multiplier and the resultant product is combined with the predetermined time to provide an actual time of rendering the controlled devices conductive.
