PROJECT INFORMATION
      Funding Entity: TECHMETA
      Partners: TECHMETA, Universidad de Oviedo
      Contract Period: 01/07/2003 - 01/07/04
      Total Budget: 30,000€
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
      Equipment: DC/DC Converter
      Output Voltage: 20 kV - 75 kV
      Output Power: 15 kW (max.)

MAIN FEATURES

The goal was developing a power supply for an e-beam welding machine that provides 75kV and 15KW at steady state, including protection against short-circuit and overvoltage.

The power stage, the resonant circuit + HV transformer and the rectifier were designed and tested in the facilities of GE-2.
