QUESTION 1 (20 Marks) Electrostatic spray technique is a solution to apply high-range spray technique for controlling of forest diseases and insect pests. The charging device was designed using corona charging methods, supplying 12kV high voltage pulse power by double acicular electrostatic device. It charges droplets in the atomizing area without intervening the droplet transporting and sub atomization through the air-assisted system. The power supply unit has the following characteristics; I. II. III. Input voltage = 240V Output pulse frequency range= 20khz - 80kHz Output voltage = 12kV

With the help of a circuit simulator software , design a power supply circuit for the application stated above. Also describe in breif the components used in this circuit and high frequency switches that you intentend to use. Explain your circuit with appropriate formula to why you chose the circuit configuration with respective values in not less than 2 pages. Include the copy of waveforms and circuit topologies from the simulation program to the answer sheet. Acknowledgements; 1. Resistors, inductors and capacitor must refer to industrial available value 2. Other related values that are not stated are based on your default (20 Marks) QUESTION 2 (10 Marks)

Using the two transistor analogy of a thyristor as shown in figure , derive an expression for the anode current as a function of the gate current. Use this expression to explain the turn-on process (10 Marks) END OF QUESTION PAPER
