A supply friendly AC/DC converter for use in pulsed laser power supplies

M.Ing. (Electrical And Electronic Engineering) / An AC/DC force commutated controlled converter, designed for use in a pulsed laser power supply, is presented here. The converter is controlled with a digital signal processor (DSP). The converter has to supply a stable DC voltage to the load, while drawing sinusoidal currents at unity power factor from the supply grid. The design of such a converter is discussed here, as well as the experimental evaluation of a prototype converter able to supply 30kW to a load.
