Control of the transistor Q1 (ie its relative
resistance) is established by the error
signal resulting from the difference in
voltage between the zener reference Z1
and the portion of the generator output
voltage seen across resistor R12. This
generator voltage is supplied by
transformer T1, rectified by full-wave
rectifier D1 and filtered by reactor L1,
capacitor C1 and resistors R6 and R12.
