Cascade Transformer Based on the Volume Coil for Power Transmission under High Voltage

Аннотация

The use of an electronic cooling system at the High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) accelerator complex, which is being developed at the Institute of Modern Physics (China), to improve the efficiency of ion injection into the accelerator and reduce the spread of ion pulses in the beam has been proposed. Electron cooling of the ion beam was carried out due to the interaction of ions with a continuous electron beam with a current of up to 3 A, energy of up to 450 keV, and energy stability at the level of 10^–4 or better. The electron beam energy recuperation was carried out at the expense of a power source with a power of 5–15 kW, which was located at the top of a high-voltage column—a high-voltage terminal. The operation of a prototype of power transmission system, which was based on a cascade transformer with a volumetric coil, has been considered. Such a transformer has a relatively low scattering inductance, which can significantly reduce the number of capacitors to compensate for it. It has been shown that this design made it possible to transfer power of up to 40 kW at small dimensions of the transformer and heat dissipation in it was not more than 10 kW.
