This proposal provides for the design and developmental tasks of a unique dc-to-dc power converter system capable of charging a 0.068 microfarad capacitor from zero to a potential of 3000 volts within 0.5 seconds after application of a dc input voltage ranging from 20 to 40 volts. Phase i work efforts and costs are discussed in detail, and a complete description of the converter's operational features and power stage is provided

This proposal provides for the prototype design and development of a unique dc-to-dc power converter system and control networks, based on the design approaches successfully developed in phase i of sbir topic a87-61. This system is capable of charging a 0.068 microfarad capacitor to 3000 vdc within 0.5 second after system activation by application of a 20 to 40vdc input potential. Controls to be developed including firing and logic networks.
