A conventional power supply of a microwave oven has a 60Hz transformer and high voltage capacitor(HVC). Though it is very simple and has low cost, it has several problems such as large size, heavy weight and low efficiency To improve these problems, various high frequency inverter type power supply have been investigated and developed in recent years. But these cost is higher than the conventional one due to additional control circuit, fast switching devces. In this paper, a novel pulse power supply for microwave oven using high frequency transformer embedded HVC(High Voltage Capacitor) is proposed for down-sizing, cost reduction and efficient improvement. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed transformer, an equivalent circuit of transformer embedded HVC is derived and it's characteristic is described. And the validity of the proposed pulse power supply embedded HVC-high frequency transformer is shown by simulations and experiments accroding to various operating conditions.

An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for chArging high voltage cApacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic net've stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec Experimental results of human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented.

This paper presents the 3D finite element analysis of the Contact-less Power Supply(CPS) with linear servo motor. The primary, secondary self and leakage inductances of the contact-less power supply and the capacitances of a resonant circuit are calculated by the finite element analysis using current source. The voltage source is used to do accurate analysis of the characteristics of the contact-less power supply. The CPS with the linear servo motor is proposed. The characteristics analysis of the contact-less power supply considering the linear servo motor is done.

A reliable and compact pulse power supply using a thyratron and a magnetic pulse compression (MPC) circuit was developed for a metal vapor laser. The life time of the pulse power supply is expected to be much longer than that of a conventional thyratron-discharge type pulse power supply. A thyratron generated a long pulse of its conduction pulse width 500 ns and then it was compressed to less than 80 ns of its output voltage rise time by a three stage MPC circuit. This pulse power supply was applied to a laser plasma tube of 30 mm inner diameter and 1.5 m discharge length. It was operated several hundreds hours without any troubles.

A zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) programmable power supply employing the ZVS active clamp forward converter is suggested. Through the analysis on operation region of the supply, the constant power region and the maximum current limit region are clearly identified. Furthermore, the duty ratio range corresponding to the variation range of the output voltages and the control scheme at the minimum duty ration region are presented. Finally, in order to vefity the validity of the operation for the proposed power supply, experimental evaluation results obtained on an 1kW prototype power supply for the 198~242VAC input voltage range(220VAC$\pm$10%), the 0~25V output voltage range, and the 100kHz switching frequency are presented.

A pulse power supply using IGBTs and MPC (magnetic pulse compression) circuit was developed for a metal vapor laser. The life time of the pulse power supply is expected to be much longer than that of a vacuum tube or thyratron type pulse power supply. A series-connected IGBT array generated a long pulse of its pulse width 2 ${\mu}\textrm{s}$ md then it was compressed to less than 100 ns by a three stage MPC circuit. This pulse power supply was applied to a laser plasma tube of 10 mm inner diameter and 0.5 m discharge length. and successfully operated.

The power supply system in Korean electrified railway has adopted AT feeding. If a fault occurs in some substation for any reason, the vicinity substation must feed electric power on the outage substation through catenary. So, the feeding distance grows twice of the normal state at extended feeding condition. If substation's feeding distance is longer than normal condition, the catenary impedance and train to supply electric power from the substation. Therefore, the severe voltage drop can occur and power supply shall be not allowed. This paper presents the model of compensator against voltage drop using multi-port network algorithm. Whole traction power supply system can be analyzed with this model. Computer simulation including this model is performed based on real train schedule and increased schedule in case studies.

This paper describes the 40kV solid state pulsed power supply for environmental applications. The output specifications of the pulsed power supply are 40kV, 300A, 3kHz, and average output power of 13kW. In order to generate a high voltage, a series stacking cell structure is used which is charged in parallel and discharged in series. Due to this structure, there is no dynamic voltage balancing problem as well as static voltage balancing problem for switches used in high voltage pulse power supplies. To verify this pulse power supply design, PSpice modeling was performed. Finally, experimental results with non-inductive resistive load and gas treatment reactor proved the reliability of the solid state pulsed power supply.

The auxiliary transformers or start-up/stand-by transformer(s) are installed against the start-up and shut-down of generator and emergency status in fossil power plant. The on-site power supply configuration using these transformers must be determined, considering configuration requirements, site characteristics, reliability and availability severely because it is remarkably important for safety and ecfonomy of plant. The auxiliary or start-up/stand-by power supply configuration has been determined considering only safety requirements and construction cost until now in Korea. This paper presents general theorems for the reliability estimation and proposes 2-unit based 4 alternatives for the start-up power supply stystem of 500㎿ standardized fossil power plant. The reliability and unavailability of equipment, system and configuration are determined using minimal cut-set methodology. The optimized plan of 4 alternatives is determined based on this ultimate reliability and unavailability.
