Original Abstract

This paper presents a high-amperage current pulse generator with a high-voltage internal power supply. The generator was designed and constructed specifically for upcoming magnetic therapy experiments on cancerous tissues and can deliver currents up to +-100A. The high-voltage power supply will be needed to achieve fast current changes in the large application coils. Due to the high required currents, the generator uses a relatively simple switching mode approach and employs full bridge of power IGBT transistor as the switches. This has the advantage of very high power efficiency, but the output waveforms are limited to short current spikes only.
