Development of an HTS inductor for an electronic high voltage generator

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