User's Guide for the 2.7-kJ Wire Burst Controller: Analog Modules, Inc. Model 880-317

The Analog Modules, Inc. Model 880-317 fixed pulse width controller supplies a single pulse varying from 0 to 3000 V with a pulsed width of approximately 400 s. The module contains two 300-micro F capacitors connected in parallel for a total of 600 F, and an internal inductance of 15 micro H and internal resistance of about 200 m ohm. The internal dump resistor for discharging the capacitors is 17 k ohm and requires approximately 1 min to be fully discharged. The purpose of this guide is to provide general instructions for the modules use with the modifications and Control Box as implemented and required to meet the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory's safe use guidance.
