Abstract

This paper describes development of high-power solid-state switch (HPSS) and high precision capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) for kicker modulator system in an accelerator facility. Specifications of a HPSS for the system are 15 kV of withstand voltage and 10 kA of pulsed current (half-sine form, 6 us of base width). The developed HPSS consists of series-connected IGBTs. For the synchronous drive of IGBTs, each gate drive circuit is powered by an on-off pulse generator circuit which includes multiple transformers sharing their primary winding. To achieve fast risetime of gate-emitter voltage, a gate drive circuit with an internal voltage source is proposed. In terms of the CCPS, series-parallel resonant converter is designed with 15 kV, 4 kW, and 1 MHz of its switching frequency. High switching frequency has an advantage for reproducibility of the pulsed current by minimizing quantity of charge delivered to a load capacitor during one switching period. With the developed HPSS and CCPS, a kicker modulator system is implemented. Finally, the developed system achieved 10 kA of pulsed current from 12 kV of charging voltage with 10 Hz of repetition ratio.
