Development of an HTS inductor for an electronic high voltage generator

A power electronic circuit has been built and identified to be able to generate high voltage which can be increased rapidly to a value many times greater than the input low voltage dc source. A prototype device has been built and studied, which is able to generate 1.2 kV from a 12 V dc battery source, and theoretical voltage generation with a HTS inductor can reach very high values. Bi-2223/Ag wire has the capability to make the inductor to reduce the circuit resistance, and therefore a higher voltage can be generated. This high voltage generation method, HTS inductor, test result, and analysis will be presented in the paper.
