Abstract
A circuit arrangement for reducing unidirectional flux component in a transformer core includes a compensation winding magnetically coupled to the transformer core, a transductor series connected with the compensation winding in a compensation current path, wherein the compensation current path has two parallel branches each containing a power winding of the transductor and an uncontrolled valve connected in series, where flow directions of the valves run counter to one another, and where each power winding is magnetically coupled to a control winding via a saturable transductor core, and includes a controller to which a detector supplies magnitude and direction information of the unidirectional flux component, and which generates a control variable supplied to each control winding such that the saturation state of the transductor core is variable such that a compensation current is formed in the compensation current path that counteracts the unidirectional flux component in the transformer core.
