Generation of High Voltage Rectangular Pulses for Juice Processing

High voltage Rectangular pulses of short duration are often used in Microwave Radars, high power electromagnetic pulse measurement, Lasers, civilian ,defense and food processing applications. In the present work, a prototype high voltage pulse generator and food processing chamber are designed and developed. A high voltage rectangular pulse of output voltage of 12.5 kV and duration 2µs is achieved experimentally and the pulse is discharged into a matched load. The voltage and current are measured across the load to validate the designed load impedance. The pulses are applied to food processing chamber consisting of raw cabbage juice.
