Abstract

A fully transistorized generator voltage control for a precision cyclotron magnet current regulator is described in detail. Need for an external power supply for the generator field current is eliminated by using self excitation. The control is stabilized by an auxiliary AC feedback loop. Variations in the generator output voltage are < 0.1 volt. With a slight modification the circuit can be used as a simple, versatile generator voltage regulator with about 0.1% regulation. (auth)

High-Currrent Regulated Supply, Combining Transistors and Magnetic Amplifiers, for the Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron

Journal Article Behr, B. C. ; Lingar, W. E. ; White, W. H. - IRE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Circuits are shown and design criteria given for a current-regulated power supply which is typical of l9 supplies of four types built for the Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron. These supplies range from 6.25 to 34 kw with current ratings from 250 to l200 amp. Current regulation and ripple of l part in 10 ⁴ are obtained by separate ac and dc feedback circuits driving a bank of parallel power tran-sistors in series with the load. The dissipation of the transistor bank is limited by a third feedback circuit, which drives a saturable reactor in the power supply to maintain amore »« less

High precision gate signal timing control based active voltage balancing scheme for series-connected fast switching field-effect transistors

Conference Zhang, Zheyu ; Gui, Handong ; Niu, Jiahao ; ...

Due to the low availability, high cost, and limited performance of high voltage power devices in high voltage high power applications, series-connection of low voltage switches is commonly considered. Practically, because of the dynamic voltage unbalance and the resultant reliability issue, switches in series-connection are not popular, especially for fast switching field-effect transistors such as silicon (Si) super junction MOSFETs, silicon carbide (SiC) JFETs, SiC MOSFETs, and gallium nitride (GaN) HEMTs, since their switching performance is highly sensitive to gate control, circuit parasitics, and device parameters. In the end, slight mismatch can introduce severe unbalanced voltage. This paper proposes anmore »« less

Improved transistorized ac motor controller for battery powered urban electric passenger vehicles

Technical Report Peak, S C

The objectives of this program for an improved ac motor controller for battery powered urban electric passenger vehicles were: the design, fabrication, test, evaluation and cost analysis of an engineering model controller for an ac induction motor drive system, the investigation of a power level expansion to a family of horsepower and battery system voltages, and the investigation of the applicability of the ac controller for use as an on-board battery charger and for providing the function of motor reversal. Additional vehicle specifications, e.g., acceleration and pulling out of potholes, were added to the NASA vehicle specifications. Then, a vehiclemore »« less
A PARALLEL-TRANSISTOR CASCADED AMPLIFIER FOR CONTROLLING VERY LARGE CURRENTS

Technical Report Rheaume, R H

A method for controlling large currents at low voltages by means of paralleled high-power switching transistors was developed. The output current from a 3.5-volt 1000ampere filtered Ge rectifier is made to flow through a lowimpedance load at any desired rate by means of a seriesregulator amplifier circuit consisting of three cascaded parallel-transistor amplifier stages. A relatively small control signal range is sufficient to sweep the output current from 0 to 1000 amperes. (W.D.M.)
Method and apparatus for controlling current in inductive loads such as large diameter coils

Patent Riveros, Carlos A

A method and apparatus for controlling electric current in loads that are essentially inductive, such that sparking and "ringing" current problems are reduced or eliminated. The circuit apparatus employs a pair of solid state switches (each of which switch may be an array of connected or parallel solid state switching devices such as transistors) and means for controlling those switches such that a power supply supplying two d.c. voltages (e.g. positive 150 volts d.c. and negative 150 volts d.c.) at low resistance may be connected across an essentially inductive load (e.g. a 6 gauge wire loop one hundred meters inmore »« less
