A Novel Reduced Based Switch Voltage Tripler Circuit for Electric Fence Energizer Applications

High-frequency unipolar High Voltage (HV) pulses find diverse applications, serving as a vigilant shield for safe-guarding a range of sites from buildings and livestock enclosures to vast agricultural expanses and international borders. Developing a Power Energizer circuit (PEC) holds great importance for a wide range of protective applications. This is powered by solar PV that is connected to a DC-DC boost converter, also has a battery backup that is connected to a bi-directional DC-DC boost converter. The performance of the PEC is proposed under various solar irradiance conditions and also under the safe limits of the energizer provided by IEC 60335-2-76:2002 standard [1]. The key feature distinguishing the PEC is its capability to generate HVP, exceeding 15 kV in magnitude, sustained for a microsecond. This is achieved while maintaining a continuous supply of nearly 48 volts for the input DC source, with the discharged pulse conforming to power energizer standards, yielding an energy level of approximately 5 joules.
