Phase-Locked Output Control of High Voltage Power Supplies

摘要

Phase-Locked Output Control of High Voltage Power Supplies, was initiated due to the need for low-power, high voltage power supplies in space science instruments, such as charged particle analyzers. It was recognized that a voltage sensor which did not dissipate power from a high voltage converter would be helpful in reducing the input power to the system. Conventional systems used a resistive divider for sensing the output voltage, which was often a significant part of the output load. Features such as isolation of high voltage and control system grounds were also frequently required. This paper presents a brief overview of the research and development effort included characterization of nonlinear capacitors for use as voltage sensors, prototype design, prototype construction, and testing.
