A pulse transformer arrangement () is built from an uncut pulse transformer core () and at least one foil winding (-A,-B) (each) comprising multiple insulated conducting strips arranged around the core and ending in foil winding terminals to form multiple independent primary windings. This new design principle has several advantages. Making the winding(s) of foil eliminates the need to cut the core, because of the ease of insertion of the foil winding(s) onto the core. The work to set up a plurality of primary windings is significantly reduced. In addition to the elimination of the costs for cutting the core, this also brings the further advantages of reduced DC reset current, reduced risk for electrical shorts and avoidance of excessive losses due to potential high frequency AC resistance problems.

Foil winding pulse transformer

A power modulator comprises a plurality of switched pulse generator sections (), a power supply arrangement (), and a transformer arrangement (). A switch control () is connected to said plurality of switched pulse generator sections () for providing control signals for turning on and/or turning off them. The switch control () is arranged to provide control signals for turning on and/or turning off switched pulse generator sections of a first subset at a first time instant and to provide control signals for turning on and/or turning off switched pulse generator sections of a second subset at a second time instant, different from the first time instant: The second subset is different from the first subset.

Power switch grouping

An arrangement and a method for irradiation of products by charged particles. The arrangement comprises a particle acceleration device and a radiation chamber, in which the products are irradiated from at least two sides, by that the particle beam is deflected with a scanning magnet and redeflected with redeflection magnets. The particle beam impinges on the products substantially parallel to the main normals of the surfaces of the products, which normals are positioned substantially perpendicular to the direction that the radiation axis has immediately before the deflection. An absorption means comprising a particle stopper is arranged in the space between the pole pieces of the redeflection magnets. A transport device for double-sided irradiation transports the products, which during transport are fixed to the transport device, through the irradiation arrangement.

Irradiation equipment

A transformer of a Tesla type, and energy supply and particle accelerator devices that include such transformers. The electrical transformer includes a primary winding, a secondary winding which is electromagnetically coupled to the primary winding, and is characterized in that the primary winding consists of one single turn. The transformer operates without any soft magnetic core. The single turn is formed by at least two sector segments of a rotationally symmetric body, over which segments a voltage is applied. Preferably, the segments are equal in size, the voltages are equal in magnitude and one end of each segment is kept at ground potential. In an energy supply and an accelerator according to the present invention, a switch controlling the application of the voltage over the primary winding has controlled turn-on and turn-off preferably is an IGBT switch.

Rotationally symmetrical high-voltage pulse transformer with tesla

The invention relates to a power modulator of pulse transformer type. The pulse transformer includes at least one secondary winding and a number of primary windings. The primary windings share a common ground terminal, but each 'hot' terminal is independently connected to a respective dedicated pulse generating module, which includes a pulse switch, such as an IGBT-switch, connected to an energy storage capacitor. The pulse switch is electronically controllable at turn on and turn off, and eliminates the need for Pulse Forming Networks. The electronic pulse switch control is preferably used in combination with pulse voltage droop-compensating circuits that connect the switches to the primary windings. Furthermore, the transformer design is such that each primary winding only surrounds a portion of the total magnetic core cross section, giving an effect of a fractional turn primary.
