TLDR
In this article, an externally driven saturating transformer inverter is provided with an auxiliary commutating transformer whose windings are connected with those of a power transformer and diode members such that upon saturation of the power transformer core, a high-reflected load impedance is presented.
Abstract
An externally driven saturating transformer inverter is provided with an auxiliary commutating transformer whose windings are connected with those of a power transformer and diode members such that upon saturation of the power transformer core, a high-reflected load impedance is presented. High-current spike generation is obviated while the regulation advantages of pulse width modulation is retained.

Square wave generator

TL;DR: In this article, the advantages of current controlled and voltage controlled generators are combined by the provision of two output transformers whose primary windings are connected in parallel through diodes (D5 and D6), which in case of overloading are blocked by the voltage of a capacitor which itself is connected through a diode which is also blocked by said voltage.

Replica driver transformer for inverter circuit

TL;DR: In this paper, a replica driver transformer is used to saturate before the power transformer to save the drive to the power switching transistors and save them from burnout which might otherwise be caused by power transformer saturation.
