Study on the pulse generator for electrical discharge machining based on inductive voltage boosting method

Abstract

This research aims to develop a pulse generator based on inductive voltage boosting method to meet the pulse requirements of electrical discharge machining. The method, which is a type of switching circuit using an inductor to store energy and low power DC power supply to offer energy, was applied to build the experimental platforms of electrical discharge machining and carry out machining in practice. The influences of parameters in open circuits and discharge states were investigated.
