Abstract

This paper introduces an improved pulse generator using power semiconductors. The proposed circuit consists of the series connected boost converter structure. In the presented circuits, high voltage pulse is generated by series-connection of capacitors and IGBTs. The charging of capacitors and voltage balance of IGBTs is done automatically. To verify the proposed circuit, 1kV, 25A pulse generator is manufactured and tested.
