The Experiment of High Voltage Capacitor Charger for Pulsed Power Application

This paper introduces the test a rapid pulsed power charging system for pulsed power application. The charger is designed based on three-phase series resonant inverter followed by air cooled step-up transformers. It has many advantages of lower weight, small size and high efficiency compared with large bulky traditional pulse power charging system. To apply 150kJ pulsed power system, detail test was carried out at various condition and its results shows 90% efficiency at full load condition. And additional experiments such as short, open, and self discharging during charging status are performed to verify reliable operation at abnormal condition and it was confirmed that developed capacitor charger showed very reliable operation all over the tests.
