The meat grinder - Theoretical and practical limitations
Abstract
The meat grinder (Zucker and Long, 1980) is shown to be a purely inductive energy transfer system whose opening switch problem is drastically reduced because of its reversibility. It is also shown that the number of switches is a function only of the desired overall efficiency, the coupling coefficient, and the desired current. The dynamic behavior of the voltage on the switches is demonstrated, and a calculation is made for a typical application.
