A rectangular, high current pulsed power supply based on pulse forming networks (PFNs) and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) has been developed for the new generation of high intensity heavy ion accelerator. It employs eight IGBTs as discharge switches in a connection of four in series and two in parallel to achieve high voltage and high current. The synchronous triggering of IGBTs is achieved by adjusting the delay time of optical signals. The test results show that it can generate a rectangular pulse current of ~5 kA with a flat-top duration of ~2.3 µs and a flat-top ripple of less than ±1%, which satisfies the design requirements.

A rectangular, high current pulsed power supply based on pulse forming networks (PFNs) and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) has been developed for the new generation of high intensity heavy ion accelerator. It employs eight IGBTs as discharge switches in a connection of four in series and two in parallel to achieve high voltage and high current. The synchronous triggering of IGBTs is achieved by adjusting the delay time of optical signals. The test results show that it can generate a rectangular pulse current of ~5 kA with a flat-top duration of ~2.3 µs and a flat-top ripple of less than ±1%, which satisfies the design requirements.
