2. Pulsed DC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_DC

   Pulsed DC (PDC) or pulsating direct current is a periodic current which changes in value but never changes direction. Some authors use the term pulsed DC to describe a signal consisting of one or more rectangular ("flat-topped"), rather than sinusoidal, pulses. [1] Pulsed DC is commonly produced from AC (alternating current) by a half-wave ...

3. Marx generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

   A Marx generator is an electrical circuit first described by Erwin Otto Marx in 1924. [1] Its purpose is to generate a high-voltage pulse from a low-voltage DC supply. Marx generators are used in high-energy physics experiments, as well as to simulate the effects of lightning on power-line gear and aviation equipment.

4. Pulse-forming network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-forming_network

   A pulse-forming network for an Nd:YAG laser rangefinder The Shiva Star device at Air Force Research Laboratory, USA, which generates pulsed power for high-energy fusion power experiments. Each of the 6 radial arms is a pulse-forming line delivering a pulse of energy to the center, whose capacitors store a total of 10 MJ of energy and can create ...

5. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

   A non-ideal DC voltage waveform can be viewed as a composite of a constant DC component (offset) with an alternating (AC) voltage—the ripple voltage—overlaid. The ripple component is often small in magnitude relative to the DC component, but in absolute terms, ripple (as in the case of HVDC transmission systems) may be thousands of volts.

6. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

   Power flow from the supply is not constant and will require energy storage on the supply side in most cases. (In the case of an electrical circuit, a capacitor to absorb energy stored in (often parasitic) supply side inductance.) High frequency PWM power control systems are easily realisable with semiconductor switches. As explained above ...

7. Direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

   In electronics, it is common to refer to a circuit that is powered by a DC voltage source such as a battery or the output of a DC power supply as a DC circuit even though what is meant is that the circuit is DC powered. In a DC circuit, a power source (e.g. a battery, capacitor, etc.) has a positive and negative terminal, and likewise, the load ...

9. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   The output of the step-up transformers then gets filtered by capacitors to produce a high voltage DC supply. Finally, this DC supply is pulsed with additional power MOSFETs by the microcontroller to produce the final modified sine wave signal. More complex inverters use more than two voltages to form a multiple-stepped approximation to a sine wave.
