Abstract

A newly developed power processing unit (PPU) offers the advantages of smaller size and lighter weight than conventional PPUs. The thrust performance of a magnetic layer type Hall thruster developed at Kyushu University with this new PPU was investigated; it showed a good performance as compared with conventional power supplies. The thrust to power ratio was improved to 58 mN/kW at discharge voltage of 150 V and anode xenon mass flow rate of 1.0 mg/s.
