High-voltage Pulse Generation Based on Relaxed Self-Excited Oscillation Using Electrostatic Induction in External Capacitors

Abstract

Simple method of producing high voltage pulses with short rising times based on electrostatic induction in external capacitor used for pulse power applications is proposed. The circuit has simple structure and contains minimum number of parts. Sawtoothed high voltage pulses with short rising times and low repetitive rates of a few 100 Hz was generated in experiments. The calculated results for generating high voltage pulses were goodly consistent with experimental ones. Moreover, it was confirmed that amplification of output voltage by EHD electricity generation using jet flame resulted in low electricity consumption and high repetition rates.
