    This document discusses series resonant circuits and how they can be used to generate high voltages. It explains that by cancelling out the leakage reactance of a transformer with a capacitive load, very high voltages can be achieved across the capacitive load. While either the capacitance or inductance can be varied, changing the inductance through adjusting the number of transformer turns is preferable to changing the physical size of the capacitor. Transformers were initially used to vary inductance for high voltages, but continuously variable reactors are now commonly used instead. Diagrams are provided showing example series resonant circuit configurations and their advantages over testing transformers are outlined.

    Series Resonant Circuit
    • We mentioned in the previous class that sometimes, resonance may occur
    for a capacitive load if it cancels out the leakage reactance of the testing
    transformer at operating frequency.
    • Typically, we don’t want that to happen because voltage will skyrocket and
    insulation will break down. It will be a mess!
    • However, if we want to generate high voltage, then we can use this to our
    advantage.
    • The concept is simple, cancel out the leakage reactance with capacitive
    load and will get a super high voltage across the capacitive load.
    Vary C or L?
    • We want series resonance and to achieve that, the capacitive and inductive
    reactance need to cancel out one another. But how can we do that?
    • It’s obvious that these reactance won’t match magically by themselves.
    They are not smart! We have to intervene. But should we change C to
    match L or should we change L to match C?
    • We can do both, but if you think about it, changing capacitance value is a
    bit awkward considering the fact that its physical dimensions need to
    change. On the other hand, changing inductance is as easy as changing the
    number of turns. That’s it!
    • So, we have decided to go for changing inductance.
    How to vary L?
    • The next question is, how can we vary L?
    • A straightforward approach is to simply vary the inductance by changing
    the turns or some other similar methods. However, up until late 1960s,
    continuously variable reactors (fancy name for inductors!) were not
    available for high voltages (we are, after all, working with high voltages,
    that’s what this course is all about). So, people back then had to use
    transformers.
    • But wait, why should we use transformers to vary inductance? It can’t be
    possible. Or is it? Can you tell? I’ll leave it to you.
    • A problem with using transformer is the high current which its secondary
    (connected to the main circuit) has to withstand at resonant condition.
    • Later on, people got smarter and developed high voltage continuously
    variable reactors. So now, we can vary the inductance easily and can get rid
    of those cumbersome transformers. Everyone is happy!

    Advantages
    • Primary input voltage requirement for a predefined output voltage is
    decreased (1/Q).
    • The primary winding of the feed transformer has to supply 1/Q of the
    reactive power requirement of the load.
    • Voltage wave shape is improved by elimination of unwanted resonance.
    When resonance occurs solely at power frequency (50/60Hz) intentionally,
    other harmonics have little to no effects.
    • Insulation failure doesn’t lead to other problems since voltage collapses
    upon such incident.
    • Series configuration is possible for obtaining higher voltages.
    • Weight is reduced substantially compared to testing transformers (10-
    20kg/kVA whereas 3-6kg/kVA for reactors).
    Questions
    Not any that I can think of right now. But might pop up in my head later on.
    So don’t get too happy!
    THANK YOU
