Development of High Voltage High Frequency Resonant Inverter Power Supply for Atmospheric Surface Glow Barrier Discharges
High-voltage high-frequency power supply using voltage-fed load resonant inverter with a series-compensated resonant inductor has been developed for efficient atmospheric surface glow barrier discharges(ASGBD). It produces a controllable frequency and sinusoidal alternating voltage output. The maximum output voltage is about 6 kV peak to peak. Resonant power converter can be tune easily to the resonant frequency of the load. Operating frequency varies according to the load and voltage level typically in the range of 10 kHz and 1 MHz range. The output voltage is controlled by using pulse width modulation technique. The power supply developed in this paper is applied successfully for ozoniser that can produce high concentrate ozone by using ASGBD for agricultural industry applications.
