Abstract:
Analysis is presented for systems using high current pulse transformers to exploit the high energy storage capability of homopolar generators or other limited current sources. The stepped-up secondary current can be established either by current interruption when che primary is also used for energy storage or by commutation of current into the primary from a separate storage inductor. For high-power pulse generators the primary insulation and power supply are protected by subsequent crowbarring of the primary. An example is given of a design for matching the NRL homopolar generator with 1.46 mH inductor to a lmuH, megavolt level inductive pulse generator.
