Abstract
A pulsed power system is disclosed, which comprises at least two H-bridges cascaded for providing pulsed current to a load. Each H-bridge comprises at least two legs, and each leg comprises at least two transistor switches connected in series. Each transistor switch comprises a transistor and a diode electrically coupled with the transistor in parallel. The pulsed power system also comprises a controller configured to determine if a slew rate of the load current is lower than a threshold, and to reduce switching loss in response to the slew rate being lower than the threshold.
