The analysis of Cockcroft-Walton cascade rectifiers for static and dynamic conditions, based on digital simulations, is presented. Steady-state and transient currents and voltages on any component can be calculated through simulation. The influence of the voltage source impedance (generally inductive), in the overall performance, is shown to be very important. Experimental results are presented to validate the analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
