The Development of 35kJ/s High Voltage Capacitor Charger

35kJ/s 고전압 커패시터 충전장치 개발

This paper describes a rapid pulsed power charging system for pulsed power application. It is capable of charging 35kJ/s energy up to 0.47uF 25kV within 3ms and maximum pulse repetition rate of 300 pps can be achieved. The charger is designed based on three-phase series resonant inverter followed by air cooled set-up transformers thus it has many advantages of lower weight, small size and high efficiency compared with large bulky traditional pulse charger system. Detail design procedure of resonant inverter and high voltage transformers is explained. Experimental results carried out at different condition and its results shows 90% efficiency at full load condition.
