Prime Power to Pulse Conditioning Interface Methods.

Abstract

AC and DC resonant charging hardware tests were conducted with a 15KW DOD standard 400 HZ generator as prime power. DC resonant charging caused vibrations of the generator at the pulsing frequency and instability of the voltage regulator due to the very irregular generator voltage waveform. The input DC voltage to the pulser sagged causing the performance to be lower than expected. An analysis of this problem and the theory to account for this sag is presented. Problems with the triggering of AC resonant charging were not solved in time for this report. The experimental set up of AC resonant charging is presented. AC resonant charging caused no negative impact on the generator which is a great advantage over DC resonant charging. (Author)
