Design of a pulse power supply unit for micro-ECM

Electrochemical micro-machining (μECM) requires a particular pulse power supply unit (PSU) to be developed in order to achieve desired machining performance. This paper summarises the development of a pulse PSU meeting the requirements of μECM. The pulse power supply provides tens of nanosecond pulse duration, positive and negative bias voltages and a polarity switching functionality. It fulfils the needs for tool preparation with reversed pulsed ECM on the machine. Moreover, the PSU is equipped with an ultrafast overcurrent protection which prevents the tool electrode from being damaged in case of short circuits. The developed pulse PSU was used to fabricate micro-tools out of 170 μm WC-Co alloy shafts via micro-electrochemical turning and drill deep holes via μECM in a disk made of 18NiCr6. The electrolyte used for both processes was a mixture of sulphuric acid and NaNO3 aqueous solutions.The research reported in this paper is supported by the European Commission within the project “Minimizing Defects in Micro-Manufacturing Applications (MIDEMMA)” (FP7-2011-NMP-ICT-FoF-285614

A Study on Pulsed Power Supply based on Separate Excitation

© ASEE 2007Regular power supply cannot be used for some special applications such as discharging plasma generator, air purification system, medical discharging equipment, etc. Instead, a special low-power high-voltage pulsed power supply is required. In this paper, the design and simulation of a separate excited pulse power supply are proposed. The power supply can produce high-voltage small-current pulses adaptive to different loads. The working principle of the power supply is analyzed. A comparison between this power supply and other pulsed power supply based on capacitance energy storage is discussed. The circuit implementation of power supply is proposed. The key component for the power supply, pulse transformer, as well as other components is studied in detail. Based on the analysis, an optimized design of the power supply is proposed. Computer simulation is used to verify the performance of the designed power supply, such as the output characteristics under different load resistances, the pulse frequency and the duty ratio. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed power supply. Some possible performance improvements on the power supply are also suggested. The designed power supply can satisfy the requirements for commercial applications such as plasma generation and air purification system

Transistor current and voltage limiting switch

Limiting circuit protects the main power supply of electronic modules and limits the current drawn by each module should a short circuit occur. It limits current within one mA when used with direct current of either polarity, or with pulse or ac power sources from direct current to 100 kHz

Power Supply Options for a Naval Railgun

Large railguns require powerful power supply units. At the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL) most experimental railguns are driven by power supply units based on capacitors. Recent investigations at ISL explore the possibility to use coil based systems to increase the energy density of the power supply. In this study an electrical circuit simulation is used to investigate the difference for railgun operation in between a capacitor and a coil based power supply with respect to current amplitude behavior and projectile velocity. For this a scenario of a 25 MJ muzzle energy railgun is simulated with two different power supply options, replacing capacitors by coils and using a range of circuit resistances. The resistance determines to a large part the losses of the system and defines therefore the efficiency of the launch and the size of the power supply. The interpretation of the results of the performed simulations leads to the conclusion that the capacitor based system "naturally" pro- duces a favorable current pulse trace with respect to launching a mechanical delicate payload. Further simulations show that the disadvantage of the inductor based supply can be mitigated by increasing the power supply unit subdivision into smaller units.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Plasma Physic

Investigation on the Effect of Cable Length on Pulse Shape of High Voltage High Pulse Power Supply

In the present scenario of pulse power applications, transmission of high voltage pulses varies as per load condition. In the early days of its application, High Voltage High Pulse Power Supply (HVHPPS) design saw short distance between load and source, where the effect of cable length was not taken into account for design. This paper presents the effect of cable length on pulse shape of High Voltage High Pulse Power Supply. The load under observation is Klystron based high energy particle accelerator system. The performance of pulse power systems were observed continuously on a daily basis throughout the year and detailed analysis was carried out. This paper generates the model of pulse forming system and provides details of pattern distortion of the pulse shape due to various dynamic parameter changes i.e. impedance, Load Voltage, Load Current, Cavity Dimensional Changes (Microwave components) due to temperature variations and performance of the power supply. The results were analysed and validated with hardware results across a range of actual industrial loads

Development of long pulsed ND:yag laser system

The Nd:YAG laser with long pulse duration can be produce by using an appropriate pumping scheme. The purpose of this study is to construct a high voltage power supply for laser system. In this attempt multiple-mesh pulse forming technique was performed to obtain electrical pump pulses with a more rectangular shape and long normal-mode laser pulses at constant power. The flashlamp driver was designed with variable input energy. The developed flashlamp driver composes of five major electronic circuits. There are comprised of signal controller device, simmer power supply (SPS), trigger pulse ignition circuit, capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) and multiple-mesh LC pulse forming network (MPFN). The construction of the flashlamp driver is started by designing a signal controller. The controller generated a small voltage to activate the electronic components such as silicon controlled rectified (SCR) and transistor. The ignition circuit was used to ignite xenon gases which responsible to form ionized spark streamer between the two electrodes of flashlamp. A Low dc current was induced by the simmer power supply to sustain the flashlamp in simmering mode. The capacitor charging power supply was used to supply electrical power to capacitor bank within specific time. Nd:YAG laser oscillator was aligned and pumping by the new developed flashlamp radiation. As a result Nd:YAG laser beam was generated having fundamental wavelength of 1064 nm and 650 microsecond of pulse duration with maximum output energy of 250 mJ

Multiplex electric discharge gas laser system

A multiple pulse electric discharge gas laser system is described in which a plurality of pulsed electric discharge gas lasers are supported in a common housing. Each laser is supplied with excitation pulses from a separate power supply. A controller, which may be a microprocessor, is connected to each power supply for controlling the application of excitation pulses to each laser so that the lasers can be fired simultaneously or in any desired sequence. The output light beams from the individual lasers may be combined or utilized independently, depending on the desired application. The individual lasers may include multiple pairs of discharge electrodes with a separate power supply connected across each electrode pair so that multiple light output beams can be generated from a single laser tube and combined or utilized separately
