How to design a high-voltage power supply?

Design Your Transformer. One of the main things required in a good high-voltage power supply design is designing the transformer correctly for your applications. The transformer is generally the energy-conversion element in a high-voltage design, which also provides isolation between the primary and secondary.

What is a high voltage power supply?

A high voltage power supply is an electronic device used to deliver high voltage to various applications. In such power supplies, voltage references used to program the desired output can be made more stable by using highly stable voltage reference Integrated Circuits. Typical specifications of better than 5 parts per million per degree Celsius are routine.

What is a good input voltage source?

For high voltage power supplies in electrostatic applications, the input voltage source may have a wide range of voltage characteristics, with AC sources of 50Hz to 400Hz at less than 24Vac to 480Vac and DC sources ranging from 5Vdc to 300Vdc being common. It is crucial for the user to understand the input voltage requirement as this will significantly impact overall system use and design.

What is a 5V power supply test?

The power supply tests include testing to measure the variation of the 5-V supply when the input voltage (VDC) varies, and measuring the input current when input voltage is negative with respect to GND, which mimics a reverse input condition.

What is an arc sense control in a high voltage power supply?

An arc sense control is a typical feature in a high voltage power supply. Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of an arc sense circuit. A current sensing device, such as a current transformer or resistor, is typically inserted in the 'low voltage side' of the high voltage output circuits.

What is a ucc12050 power module?

The UCC12050 is an automotive qualified DC/DC power module with 5-kVRMS reinforced isolation rating designed to provide efficient, isolated power to isolated circuits that require a bias supply with a well-regulated output voltage.
