Project manager – Innovative high voltage pulse generator
A new generator should be characterized by a higher reliability and cost reduction compared to the previous models.
First, I commissioned two independent research institutes to conduct basic analyses of various generator principles.
My team and I used a functional model to check the key properties and gain experience in building the prototype. This was designed and built as part of a customer project. I was able to meet the ambitious framework of the project.
Objectives and key figures
- Cost variance from budget less than 20%
- Efficient project control through new methods
- Two external team partners evaluated and integrated
- Heavy-duty components reduced from 18 to 6
- High-voltage cascade works perfectly up to 250kV
- New 30kW converter in specification
- Suitable suppliers evaluated
- Test scope reduced through simulations
- Patented safety device
