A feedback arrangement for removing the net direct current component from the output transformer of an inverter due to an unbalanced volt-time characteristic of the output signal, wherein a direct current signal is used to adjust the respective conduction periods of the inverter switching devices. A portion of the total output signal in the primary of the output transformer is sampled by small resistors and filtered to derive an essentially direct current signal that excites an auxiliary winding magnetically coupled to the core of a saturable input transformer so as to change the core operating point and thereby to alter the switching control signal in a manner tending to reduce the direct current component of the output signal.
