| Abstract |
Plasma Wind Tunnel (PWT) is an arc heater system to produce high temperature wind to test parts of
the Thermal Protection System of future European space aircraft, or capsules or parts of future very
high speed planes, according to the hard thermal conditions expected during the atmospheric re-entry.
This PWT named “SCIROCCO“ requires very high power DC supply, it was designed a 100MVA
modular DC system. A original and efficient over current protection by using medium DC voltage
crowbar was designed with appropriate fault detection in order to avoid any arc heater damages. A
medium voltage harmonic filter was designed to reduce the perturbation on public network due to the
high power fluctuation of the arc heater load. |
