When K1 is energized, voltage is applied to CR1.  
CR1 is an isolated diode power module.  It 
contains the rectifier diodes used for line voltage 
rectification.  K1 voltage also supplies power to 
fans used throughout the chassis for cooling 
purposes.  The output of CR1 is connected to a 
capacitor filter.  Capacitor C1 is initially charged 
through a charging resistor.  This resistor is 
located on the IGBT PWB. 
 
Approximately 1 second after K1 contactor 
closure occurs, a relay is energized to short the 
charging resistor.  This relay is K2.  The DC 
voltage on C1 is approximately 1.4 times the input 
voltage.  This DC voltage is supplied to the high 
frequency inverter through L2, L3, on the filter 
cap assembly.  These inductors provide isolation 
for the high frequency inverter if a cross 
conduction or “shoot thru” occurs.  Hence, L1 and 
L2 are termed shoot thru chokes. 
 
The IGBT PWB provides a variety of control and 
diagnostic functions.  R13, R14 are the charging 
resistors previously described.  These resistors 
limit the initial charging current for the capacitors 
used for lone rectification.  U1 and its associated 
circuitry monitor the voltage across the charging 
resistor.  If any abnormal conditions appear, 
circuitry will shutdown the power supply.  R38 is 
a bleeder resistor, which is used to discharge the 
filter capacitor.  DS1 provides visual indication 
when DC voltage is present.  This indicator 

should not be relied on for confirming the 
presence or absence of the DC voltage.  Integrated 
circuits provide logic control for AC fault 
conditions, contactor control and relay control. 

4.3

 

INVERTER 

The inverter is a series resonant, series loaded 
topology.  A patented control scheme is used for 
regulating the power generated from the inverter.  
Q1 and Q2 are high speed dual IGBT.  These 
devices provide high frequency switching to 
control the resonant current flow.  The typical 
resonant operating period is approximately 
20uSeconds.  The gate control for the switching 
devices is provided by the IGBT PWB.  VCO1 
and VCO2 signals are generated by the SYSTEM 
CONTROL PWB.  The IGBT PWB provides the 
required gate pulse width and phase control. 

4.4

 

HIGH VOLTAGE 

TRANSFORMER 

The output of the High Frequency Resonant 
Inverter is connected to the primary of the High 
Voltage Transformer. The High Voltage 
Transformer is a step up type. Typical secondary 
voltages are in the range of 1kV to 4.5kV 
depending upon output voltage ratings.
