Design and construction of an RF power supply at 100 kV, 30 A DC output using solid-state DC-DC converters

A power supply design for RF equipment using high-frequency commutation technology, which is totally solid state and without energy storage at the output filter or protection crowbar, is presented. The 3 MW, 100 kV, 30 A power supply offers the low ripple, excellent dynamic and static stability, and very fast turnoff (better than 5 mu s) required by RF equipment. >
