This paper presents the equivalent circuit and the parameters of a Tesla transformer. The resonance frequency to generate a high test voltage in the air-cored transformer is determined.
An experimental Tesla transformer system is designed by using a few simple tools such as a Testa coil, function generator and ultra-fast semiconductor switch. By using high frequency DC chopper, a resonance voltage induced between the primary and secondary coils. Result is a power supply that generates test voltages in the level of 200.000-250.000 V. The paper presents the input/output relations of the Tesla transformer and properties of semiconductor controlled driver system. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
