Abstract
Progress in the design and development of a family of regulated filament supplies utilizing semiconductor electronics throughout is reported. A model 20 ampere supply was constructed representative of electrical and mechanical techniques to be used for the family of filament supplies. Preliminary tests show that the model supply meets the specified electrical requirements. Initial measurements on the model 6.3 v, 20 amp filament supply based on the nondissipative technique show that the true rms output voltage exhibits an almost undetectable variation over the entire line-load continum of 103 to 127v line variation and no load to 20 amp load variation. The full load efficiency was greater than 90%. The major remaining problem is the suppression of radio frequency interference. The work to date in the high voltage supplies consists of the breadboarding of a 4kv dc regulated supply based on the Royer Transistor square wave inverter circuit. This circuit will provide an output voltage continuously variable between 2 and 4kv. With the use of voltage doublers and quadruplers the entire high voltage range of 4 to 16kv can be supplied.
