Capacitor Charging Power Supply(CCPS) is one of the most important components of a pulsed power system. The CCPS is widely used in source of lasers, accelerators and plasma generators. This paper presents design of a dead time control circuit and operation characteristics for stable high repetition rate of high voltage CCPS. The CCPS consists of battery, high voltage transformer and controller with a dead time control circuit. A dead time control circuit was simulated by PSpice. The performance test of the CCPS was carried out with a 7[nF] load capacitor at output voltage of 50[kV] and a pulse repetition frequency of 100[Hz]. As a result, we can verify that charging and discharging waveform is stable at 100[Hz]. The experiment results indicate that 3[ms] dead time made it possible for stable high repetition rate of 100[Hz]. This paper paves the way for designing an advanced CCPS which is more applicable outside experiments.

본 논문은 대용량 충 방전 커패시터 부하를 갖는 CCPS (Capacitor Charging Power Supply)의 충전시간 제어방법을 제안한다. 기존의 대용량 Capacitor charger들은 LC공진탱크 및 스위칭 주파수를 개 루프 방식으로 제어한다. 이와 같은 제어 방법은 LC 공진탱크의 파라미터 변화로 인해 충전시간 제어가 불가능하다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Zero-crossing 방법을 이용 전류의 공진주파수를 검출한 뒤 스위칭 주파수를 가변 함으로서 원하는 시간과 안정성을 동시에 만족 할 수 있는 피드백 제어 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper we present a Capacitor Charging Power Supply (CCPS) using a series-resonant three-level inverter topology to improve voltage regulation and use semiconductor switches having low blocking voltage capability such as MOSFETs. This inverter can be operated with two modes, Full Power Mode (FPM) and Half Power Mode (HPM). In FPM inverter supplies the high frequency step up transformer with full DC-link voltage and in HPM with half DC-link voltage. HPM switching method will be adopted when CCPS output voltage reaches the preset target value and operates in refresh mode-charge is maintained on the capacitor. In this topology each semiconductor devices blocks a half of the DC-link voltage[2]. A 15kW, 30kV CCPS has been built and will be tested for an electric precipitator application. The CCPS operates from an input voltage of 500VDC and has a variable output voltage between 10 to 30kV and 1kHz repetition rate at 44nF capacitive load [3]. A resonant frequency of 67.9kHz was selected and a voltage regulation of $0.83\%$ has been achieved through the use of half power mode without using the forced cut off the switch current [1]. The theory of operation, circuit topology and test results are given.

The magnetic switch used in pulsed-power applications is superior in its high repetition rate, high stability, and long lifetime. But magnetic switch was optimized switching operation by manual control. When the load changes, the switching state can not be optimized automatically. In this paper, the auto control method of magnetic switch for high pulsed-power proposed. The magnetic switch is used capacitor charging power supply for high-voltage compressor. The proposed method can be optimized an efficiency of the system by magnetic switch auto control according to load variation. And the proposed method verify the experimental results.

In this paper, charging modes of series resonant converter for a high voltage energy storage capacitor are compared in terms of charging time, peak resonant current, normalized peak resonant current and voltage in each operation mode. Operating principles of the full bridge series resonant converter with capacitor load are explained and analyzed in discontinuous and continuous operation mode. Based on the analysis and simulation result, $0.6{\omega}_r$ < ${\omega}_s$ < $0.75{\omega}_r$ and $1.3{\omega}_r$ < ${\omega}_s$ < $1.4{\omega}_r$ are evaluated to the best range of switching frequency for charging of an high voltage energy storage capacitor. 1.8 kJ/s SRC prototype is assembled with TI 28335 DSP controller and 40 kJ, 7 kV energy storage capacitor. Design rules based on the comparative analysis are verified by experiment.

To drive a magnetron injection gun, thsi paper decribes a design, fabrication and analysis results of proposed compact capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) formed resonant full-bridge inverter for electron gun power supply (EGPS). EGPS needs the -40 kV output voltage and 280 kW output power for few seconds continuously and have to be designed for the rise and fall time to be less than 1 ms with the ripple stability of output voltage of lower than 1%. In order to meet the requirements, we used eight resonant full-bridge modules operated in parallel. Each resonant full-bridge module can supply the current of 0.9 A and the voltage of 40 kV, and is operated by N-phase shift switching pattern. In this paper, we present the design, simulation and test results of interleaved CCPS.
