Insulated DC-to-DC Converter
Description
The Insulated DC-to-DC Converter is used to convert a low-voltage dc source, such as the Battery Pack, Model 8802, into a high-voltage dc output suitable for ac conversion. This type of converter (push-pull) can be found in most switched-mode power supplies and commercial inverters. The Insulated DC-to-DC Converter mainly consists of two power MOSFETs and their respective drivers, an high-frequency power transformer and a full-wave diode bridge on the output side. The MOSFETs can be controlled using an external controller or the digital outputs of the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063. Internal electrical components are identified on the module front panel by silkscreened symbols and terminated by 4 mm safety banana jacks.
