Abstract

This paper proposes a high-intensity-discharge (HID) lamp igniter using a two-stage magnetic-pulse-compression (MPC) circuit. The circuit operation is analyzed and an optimal design procedure for selecting the saturable reactors and energy storage capacitors is derived. Experimental verification is also given. This igniter can generate voltage pulses whose peak value and pulse width are 50 kV and 800 ns, respectively
