Abstract
The analysis of Cockcroft-Walton cascade rectifiers for static and dynamic conditions, based on digital simulations, is presented. Steady-state and transient currents and voltages on any component can be calculated through simulation. The influence of the voltage source impedance (generally inductive), in the overall performance, is shown to be very important. Experimental results are presented to validate the analysis.<>
