High Voltage Converters and the Use of DC to DC Converters

Posted by HV mtech on February 11th, 2020

From a starting point of 30-volt power supply, the high voltage converters come with a circuit to deliver voltage between 0 to 3 kV or from 0 to 10 kV. It is difficult for the transistors to get to a saturation point because of lower current, which passes through them and result in a shorter block period. The rapid blocking of these transistors will help in producing an impulse of around 300 V in T1 primary winding of the transformer. Then this voltage gets multiplied by the times of turning from the secondary winding. 

Points to remember: Before you start using high voltage converters, there are some specific points that everyone must keep in mind. 

If you are planning to use a capacitor C6, then it must be able to support a voltage of a minimum of 3kV.  

On the other hand, the R6 is made from six 10 MΩ resistors as available under one series.  

Then you have the R7, which is made from six 50 MΩ resistors within the same series. This measurement takes place to eliminate any form of voltage spikes. Each of the stated circuits will consume around 50 mA without load and around 350 mA with 2 to 3W with a load. For the T3 and T3 transistors, you might have to check in with good heat sinks. 

Running down the voltage converter: The wide use of HV DC-DC Converters is in demand these days. The main purpose of a voltage converter is to change the voltage of any electrical power source. It may at times get combined with some other components for creating one power supply. 

More on DC to DC Converter: The DC to DC converter is another electronic circuit or an electromechanical device, designed to convert a source of the DC or Direct Current from one stated voltage level to another. It is one example of an electric power converter where the level of power ranges from exceptionally lowunder smaller batteries to some more powerful under high voltage power transmissions. 

The use of such converters: These HV DC-DC Converters are widely used in most portable electronic devices like laptops, cellular phones and more, where the power primarily gets supplied from the batteries. These devices are known to possess various sub-circuits, each one with its own level of voltage. That level will be different from the one supplied by an external supply or battery .Moreover, the battery voltage declines as the energy is stored and drains out with passing time.
