Abstract: This disclosure regards a magnetic resonance imaging system including a scanner, and gradient drivers. The scanner is to be implemented within a scan room that is shielded from electromagnetic interference. Gradient coils are designed to create a linear gradient in the magnetic field generated in the scanner by a primary magnet. These coils are energized by gradient drivers. The gradient drivers use transformers and other electrical devices in a switching stage configured to generate pulse-width-modulated power. The transformers may have non-magnetic cores to facilitate implementing the gradient drivers within the scan room. The gradient drivers also use a filtering stage which uses inductors and other electrical devices to smooth the pulse-width-modulated power. The inductors within the filters may have non-magnetic cores to facilitate implementing the gradient driver within the scan room. Additionally, an inductor with a hollow wire may be used to circulate fluid to facilitate cooling the gradient driver.

Abstract: A pulsed power system is disclosed, which comprises at least two H-bridges cascaded for providing pulsed current to a load. Each H-bridge comprises at least two legs, and each leg comprises at least two transistor switches connected in series. Each transistor switch comprises a transistor and a diode electrically coupled with the transistor in parallel. The pulsed power system also comprises a controller configured to determine if a slew rate of the load current is lower than a threshold, and to reduce switching loss in response to the slew rate being lower than the threshold.
