Series resonant based capacitor
charging power supply (CCPS) is more popularly used to
charge pulsed power systems. The power supply size,
weight and cost increases with increase in charging rate.
So, an attempt has been made to optimize the power
supply, where it utilized a novel converter cum inverter
instead of rectifier and inverter individually. This novel
technique implemented with 6 solid state switches. The
paper describes the design features and simulation of a
series resonant based capacitor charging power supply
with a charging rate of 3kJ/s and 20kV. Mathematical
analysis carried out to calculate resonant component
values and simulation has been done for the above
mentioned rated series resonant based capacitor charging
source with converter cum inverter. Results are verified
with the simulation results of series resonant capacitor
charging power supply when rectifier and inverter used
separately. The logic used to implement this converter cum
inverter makes the converter works as rectifier and
inverter
