Abstract:
A high voltage pulse generator with variable amplitude (100-3000 V) and duration (100-2000 μs) has been designed and developed. The variable duration pulse has been generated by adopting a simple and novel technique of varying the turn off delay time of a high voltage Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) based switch by varying external gate resistance. The pulse amplitude is made variable by adjusting biasing supply of the high voltage switch. The high voltage switch has been developed using a MOSFET based stack of 3 kV rating with switching time of 7 ns.
