DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS Table 1 describes the specification used for the prototype.

The application requires an output voltage and power level of 1 kV and 0.3 kW respectively.

DESIGN OF POWER SUPPLY The regulator topology selection depends on the following factors---isolation from input to the output, input voltage across the transformer, peak current flowing through the power semiconductor, voltage across the power semiconductor. The requirement of pulsed load power supply is 300W power, the half bridge converter is selected for given specification as shown in Table 1. It causes reduced voltage stress on switching devices [13]. The block diagram of designed power supply is shown in Fig. 1. The main power circuit including the inverter and high frequency transformer is shown in Fig. 2. INPUT SELECTION DESIGN The ac input section includes a rectifier, an inrush current limiter and a capacitor filter. The input mains supply is applied to the circuit via an on-off switch and fuse. Power converters draw heavy current when switched on. This inrush of current causes great stress on input rectifier and capacitor. The rectifier and filter provide a stable dc voltage to the inverter section. The full bridge uncontrolled diode rectifier was used to obtain the unregulated dc voltage. The simple

capacitor filter was used to reduce the ripples. The capacitor filter (C) 47 F, 400 V was selected from Eq. (1). C Where is the average power; the converter, assumed as 5ms; efficiency. INVERTER SECTION DESIGN The operating frequency of the inverter is selected 20 kHz so that it reduces the size of transformer. In the half bridge inverter, the voltage stress imposed on the power MOSFET is same as the input. In designing half bridge inverter, the maximum duty cycle can never be 45 to prevent the short circuit during switching. The two capacitors as shown in Fig. 2 provide the dc bias to balance the volt-second integrals of the switching intervals. Hence any mismatch in the devices will not easily saturate the core. However if such a situation occurs, a small coupling capacitor can be inserted in series with winding. A dc bias voltage proportional to the imbalance is developed across the coupling capacitor. The driver circuit for the MOSFET switches is used to drive and also isolate the switches from the control circuit. (1)
