High-stability, Current-controlled, Card-based, True-bipolar, Switch-mode Power Converter for Electromagnets
Fig 1
Fig 2
This
is a high-stability, output-current-controlled, switch-mode, true-bipolar power
converter for electromagnet. The power converter is capable of delivering
output voltage (up to ±50 V DC), output current (up to ±15 A DC), and output
power (up to 600 W) ratings with minimum alterations. It operates from 60 V max
dc input source. The power converter is developed on a single 6U four-layer
PCB, complete with power circuit, control electronics and interface electronics
for its remote operation. It is equipped with precision current sensor,
electronics and on-board constant-temperature bath that provides output current
stability within +/- 100 ppm of the full-scale current (for 8 hours after 1
hour of warm-up). It is capable of being operated in both the polarities of
output voltage and current, with smooth zero cross-over. Important signals are
available on the front panel facilitating in-situ diagnosis/monitoring of the
operational status.

Process
Since it is a single-board design,
the manufacturing process is industry-friendly. Special manufacturing
infrastructure / environment / processes are not required. Standard PCB
production, assembly, winding and testing techniques are applicable. All
components are normal through-hole component and are available in Indian
market.

Facilities Required
Standard facilities available with a
manufacturer of electronic systems such as PCB manufacturing, component
soldering, standard mechanical shop floor for assembly etc. are necessary for
production. Some of the items (e.g. magnetic components, heatsinks etc.) can
also be sub-contracted by the industry if the related infrastructure is not
available under the same roof. However, the manufacturer desirous of acquiring
the technology should have a complete in-house board assembly facility
following IPC 610. Standard test and measurement equipment (meters,
oscilloscopes etc.) are sufficient. Various sources of precision meters and
sensors are commercially available for the manufacturer to augment the
infrastructure.
