Abstract
Abstract A pulse dip carrier system comprises a series circuit having an electronic switch and a capacitor and being connected in parallel to an AC distribution line, and a phase shifter circuit for controlling the electronic switch by the phase shifter output. The electronic switch closes under the control of the phase shifter circuit when the phase of the line voltage of AC distribution line to a point of the zero instantaneous value thereof comes to a predetermined angle, a charging current flows in the capacitor when the electronic switch is closed whereby steep pulse dip is generated on the wave of the line voltage.
