Abstract

The boost converter is a fundamental circuit topology in power electronics, widely used for voltage step-up applications. This article explores the design principles, operational characteristics, and performance analysis of boost converters. It delves into key components such as the power switch, inductor, capacitor, and control circuitry, elucidating their roles in achieving efficient voltage conversion. The use of a high voltage direct current (HVDC) boost converter for bug zapper purposes is suggested in this research. The purpose of the HVDC boost converter is to effectively increase a low-voltage DC input to a high-voltage output that may be used with insect zappers. The suggested HVDC boost converter’s design considerations, operating theories, and performance analysis are covered in this study. The use of HVDC boost converters in insect zapper devices is both feasible and effective, as demonstrated by experimental data, providing a potential approach for pest control in a variety of environments.

Keywords: HVDC boost converter, switched mode power supply, IC MC34063, zapper, Geiger counter
