Research on High Frequency Amplitude Attenuation of Electric Fast Transient Generator

Abstract

In order to solve the amplitude attenuation of electric fast transient (EFT) generator operating in high frequency, the charging and discharging process of energy storage capacitor in EFT generator are analyzed, the main circuit voltage variation mathematical model is established, the parameters of main loop circuit and the parameters of switch driving waveform which affect burst amplitude are discussed. Through the simulation, this paper puts forward effective methods to overcome burst amplitude attenuation in high frequency. The simulation results show that when the frequency is low, the duty ratio of drive signal have little effect on energy storage capacitor voltage amplitude attenuation. when the charging resistance is less than 500 Ω, the duty ratio of drive signal is less than 0.125, the repetition frequency of burst reaches 1.2 MHz, the amplitude attenuation of energy storage capacitor voltage is less than 9%, the amplitude of burst satisfies IEC61000-4-4 standards. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i1.1875
