DC to 25Hz Isolated amplifier - 10KV Dielectric strenght

Hi all,

I have to build an iso amplifier with several KV dielectric strenght. DC(i. e 0hz) is mandatory. Please guys take a look at the schematic here down and be kind to comment i t if you have time for. (Spice sim could take a long time ...)

From the .ASC you sent looks like you only need unipolar output, in other words a 0 to +10V input makes isolated 0 to +10V output. Since you only need low speed have you considered just using PWM? Gate the isolated converter so it runs 100% of the time for max input and proportionly less down to zero input. That way you might get away with just a single primary and single secondary winding and simpler feedback.

Just to clarify - when I suggested PWM I do not mean PWM at the converter transformer operating carrier frequency (say 100kHz) I really meant PWM at a lower rate (say 0.5 - 3kHz) but high enough so that after filtering it can still reproduce your 25Hz signals.

why not something like an IL300 and two opamps?

It requires that you get a real newsreader, not Google Groups -- but it's worth it.

I didn't look at the schematic, but I gather you have a transformer in there.

Why not use an LED/photodiode pair, and PWM? Things should work fine down to DC, and 25Hz should be easy to achieve. You can implement the optical connection with as much standoff as you need, and if necessary for other reasons you can shield it (i.e., fire the light down a black plastic tube of suitable length).

You didn't mention what precision you need -- that'll help us help you.

I need to withstand 10KV DC/1min, AFAIK no opto device could fulfill this requirement. The accuracy over the range 4/20mA is something as 1%.

I could not post my MathCAD results, the tricky point is the transformer specs itself. I will launch a PCB for evaluate this so i'm quite confident.

As mentioned above by piglet, an interresting idea is to transform my primary circuit to a PWM-based one... i will see.

Thx, Habib.

It didn't take me 30 seconds to fully spec out a low cost solution to your low tech project ...you're laughable, and probably overcomplicating and underperforming just to put hours, if not weeks and months, on the clock.

25Hz? I seriously doubt it.

I would bet money that you did no such thing, and also now that you have no capacity to properly time an event sequence, because your 30 second claim would be argued as an outright lie by anyone and everyone.

My variant on that was to use transformer to transmit a fixed DC voltage un til the core got to - say - 70% of saturation, after which I used a track a nd hold on the output side to maintain the output while I reduced the curre nt through transformer as fast as possible until I'd got to 70% of saturati on in the other direction (which took a couple of milliseconds).

I only used it with a unipolar 1V to 5V process control signal, and it work ed fine. IIRR at 5V I was running about 70% track to 30% hold with the syst em cycling at about 100Hz, but this was all back in 1974, so the details ar e a bit hazy.

As far as I can see, it would work fine with a bipolar signal - you'd have to add a parallel signal path to tell the output track and hold when to swi tch from track to hold (which I didn't need when transmitting a a reliably positive signal).

The advantage over PWM is that the scheme transmitted an absolute voltage d ifference (which with the right 1:1 transformer could be accurate to 10 ppb ).
