System Study for an Inductive Generator

Abstract:

A system study has been initiated to aide in the design of the inductive pulsed power generator prototype, CHECMA TE. 1 Because of the highly interactive nature of the opening switches with the other elements of the pulsed power system, this study requires that realistic physics models of the switch and load elements be coupled to the circuit in a self-consistent manner. This has been accomplished using a transmission line code in conjunction with an empirical model for fuse resistivity and various physics models for a plasma flow switch and a load. System optimization will be discussed. This system analysis technique can be applied to higher energy inductive generators.
