  • Abstract
    The design of a battery powered, rapid capacitor charger is discussed. The charger design is capable of an average output power of 80 kVA, for a burst time of roughly 5 seconds. Cool down time is required between bursts. A Lithium Ion Polymer (LiPo) battery pack with a nominal voltage of 355 V and fully charged open circuit DC voltage of 385 V will be used to power the rapid capacitor charger. The general topology of the charger is as follows. An IGBT H-bridge inverter uses pulse width modulation to create an AC waveform that is stepped up to a maximum of 58kV by a 1:170 ratio transformer. This high voltage output of the transformer is rectified and used to charge the capacitor bank.
