AUTOMATIC CONTROL, STARTING, SYNCHRONISATION, OR STABILISATION OF GENERATORS OF ELECTRONIC OSCILLATIONS OR PULSES (of dynamo-electric generators H02P)  [3]
 H03L

Note(s)

  1. This sub-class includes automatic control circuits for generators of electronic oscillations or pulses and also includes starting, synchronisation, or stabilisation circuits for generators where the type of generator is irrelevant or unspecified. Stabilisation or starting circuits specially adapted to only one specific type of generator are classified with the generator in the relevant sub-group of sub-classes H03B, H03K[3]
  2. The term "automatic control" includes only closed loop systems. [3]
