Abstract

This paper shows the design of the high voltage capacitor charger which using a modified series parallel resonant converter. The used silicon carbide Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (SiC MOSFET) is proper for the few hundred kHz of high switching frequency to overcome the bulk resonant inductor and snubber capacitors. Furthermore, to increase the amount of the charging current, three phase delta transformer is used as well as the secondary sides are connected in parallel. In this paper, the design procedure of the high voltage capacitor charger is suggested and the output power is verified by the experimental results with the rated resistor load.
