The design of this new power supply uses a new single-phase high voltage transformer with magnetic shunts supplying three doublersvoltagecells, each one composed of a capacitor and a diode. Each cell supplies in its turn one magnetron. The A equivalent model of the transformer is developed taking account the saturation phenomena and the stabilization process of each magnetron The model of the transformer is based on the determination of the analytical expressions of the non linear inductances that can be stored from the fitting of the magnetization curve B (H) of material used.

INTRODUCTION The new HV power supply for N = 3 magnetrons represented in the Figure 1 composed magnetic HV transformer supplying three cells voltagedoublersand currant stabilizers . , . , . , . , . , . The electrical characteristics laid down by the constructor of the magnetron . , . require a special power The trend toward to the new power supply device with several magnetrons will therefore be a different version of the single-phase model currently usedfor domestic microwave ovens and industrial The new device composed essentially of a single-phase transformer (Figure . , . supplying three identical magnetrons. The modeling of this new generation of power supply for several magnetrons necessarily passes by the modeling and the dimensioning of its own new HV transformer with magnetic shunts. This later ensures the stabilization of the current in each magnetron. Contrairely to conventional transformers, the leakage flux in the shunt is of the same order of magnitude that the primary and the secondary fluxes. From the modeling . , . , . and the knowledge of the nominal operation of the current HV power supply for a magnetron 800 Watts-2450 MHz, this paper fits into the development of a new generation of HV transformer supplying N = 3 magnetrons. Thatwillemultiple advantages as regards the reduction of weight, volume, electrical wiring, and thus the cost of realization and maintenance of the total device. Our Journal homepage: http://iaesjournal. com/online/index. php/IJECE IJECE ISSN: 2088-8708 interest in this work is firstly, to develop a new model of the transformer supplying N=3 magnetrons. And secondly to verify the regulation process of the voltage and the magnetron current. This work is organized as follows: Firstly, we will establish the A model representative of the transformer with N = 3 magnetrons. Itssaturable inductances are able to translate the nonlinear saturation Each one of them in this model is characterized by the nonlinear relation between current and flux. The determination of caracteristics is directly obtainedfrom the geometric parameters and the magnetic circuit quality represented by the magnetization curve B (H). Secondly, we will implement and validate this model of transformer with magnetic shunts under Matlab-Simulink code. This tool has allowed us to introduce an unlimited number of points of the magnetization curveB(H). After that, we willpresent the simulated cureves of voltages and currents obtained by Matlab-Simulink of this new power supply with N = 3 magnetrons.

This transformer ensures the stabilization of the average anodic current in each magnetron. is suitable for modeling the whole by a powerful tool for the numerical calculation of Matlab-Simulink. The equivalent diagram must translate the behavior of the whole, including the three magnetrons and the transformer cannot be separated from the external circuits. The analytical processing is too complex, the solution, thus can be onlynumeric using suitable software (Matlab-Simulin. The Figure 2 shows the integration of the model of the new transformer in the circuit of the new HV power supply from the source to the magnetrons. Each inductance of this model is a function of the reluctance of the portion of the magnetic circuit that it represents. The simulation by Matlab-Simulink, in non linear regime related to the saturation of magnetic circuits, is possible. Then each non linear inductive element is represented by its characteristic, depending on the relation: n2 * AI A n2 * B * S i A ( H * A) / n2 Modeling of a New High Voltage Power Supplyfor Microwave Generators with Three.

The stabilization of the anode current of the magnetron with respect to variations of supply voltage (A10%) of the rated voltage CONCLUSION The validation of the Amodel equivalent of the new HV transformer with magnetic shunts for N=3 magnetrons under Matlab-Simulink code in nominal mode is conclusive. The three magnetrons can operate without any problem of interaction between them. This new type of power supply can deliver up to 3*800= 2400 Watts useful at 2450 MHz after his own adequately sized transformer with magnetic shunts. The observations made using Matlab-Simulink code show an excellent agreement between the simulated and the experimental tests. This code has confirmed the validity of the model in the non linear On the other hand, the failure of one of the three magnetrons doesnAot affect the operation of the remaining magnetrons. The future work will treatthe possibility of fonctionning of HV single-phase power supply for N>3 magnetrons which each one can deliver in nominal scale 800 Wtts at 2450 MHz. On the other hand, we will treat the optimisation of this new system. REFERENCES
