Design of Pulse Generator and Drive Circuit for High-Voltage Repetition-Frequency Thyristor Series Switch

As the high-voltage repetition-frequency pulse power supply is widely used in industry, thyristor series switch technology has developed rapidly. In this paper, a synchronous drive circuit with high-voltage isolation ability is designed. A pulse generator is also designed which can generate different pulses by setting different parameters. The generator can be controlled remotely by the optical fiber communication system which guarantees the operator's safety. Good experiments results of the high-voltage repetition-frequency power supply are obtained by use the generator and the drive circuit.
