High voltage power supply for dielectric strength

This thesis deals with a choice of proper solution of high votlage source with regulated DC output in range of 0 – 50 kV. Source will be used for testing of electrical insulators, with function of displaying voltage at which breakdown of the insulator occured. Due to low output current up to 1 mA it is possible to use a cascade voltage multiplier as suitable solution. The voltage multiplier is powered by switching-mode power supply with high voltage pulse transformer. The inverter uses single-acting innovative topology that enables a supply of alternating current to the voltage multiplier. This solution is simple, but an analysis of operation is difficult, as will be described in details in this thesis. Realization and testing of the source has been successfully done, but the source had problems with its own EMC. After debugging, requested parameters have been achieved
