High Voltage Pulsating DC supply

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a pulsating DC power supply of 1kV or more with micro or nano time constants. Key suggestions include using a push-pull circuit along with high-side and low-side gate driver chips, although some drivers may only reach half that voltage. MOSFETs are recommended for high switching frequencies, while IGBTs may also be suitable depending on the specific frequency and current requirements. Participants also inquire about software tools for designing and testing the project before practical implementation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the components and configurations necessary for achieving the desired output.

Hi
My introduction to Electrical Engineering is Like one hundredth of a starter
But I am here to have some Help

I want to Design a Pulsating DC power supply of 1K or more with micro or Nano Time constant

I will highly Appreciate any kind of help and Guidance and also want to ask is there any software on which v can design and check our project before practically implementing it


Thanks

What do you mean by pulsating DC power?

Do you mean the output of the power supply switches between 1 kV and ground?
 
yes and sorry if m too childish

You might want to look at a push-pull circuit and high-side and low-side gate driver chips. I'm not sure if any drivers get up to 1kV but I know of some that get you half way there at least. These are gate drivers for controlling a push-pull circuit that can get you to generate the pulses from a 1kV source.

At 1kV you might want to use MOSFETs or IGBTs for this, depending on the frequency of your pulse and how much current you are supplying. MOSFETs are generally better at high switching frequencies for the small time constants you mention, but IGBTs are improving so, again, depends on the combination of frequency and current supplied.

Here is some more reading that might give you an idea:

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
