Abstract:

It is often necessary to create powerful generators which operate on an inductive load in order to obtain strong magnetic fields, as well as to use pulsed systems in acceleration equipment. Furthermore, experimental conditions sometimes place limitations on the duration and form of the current pulse and the stability of current amplitude, and also require high operating reliability. This report examines a generator which provides a unipolar sinusoidal current pulse with a base length of 1.2 ms and an amplitude of 1,000,000 amperes. It is stable with precision of or - 0.001 at a repetition rate of several hertz for an inductive load of 0.1 microhenry.
