Abstract :
A Programmable Transformer Coupled Converter (PTCC) is being developed by NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center for application in future large space power systems. The PTCC uses an internal microprocessor to control the output characteristics of its three Cuk integrated magnetics type power stages which have a combined capability of 5.4 kW (30V at 180A). Details of design trade-offs and test results are presented.
