Pulsed power generator by an inductive energy storage system

  • 1. Tokushima Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

A pulsed power generator using an inductive energy storage system has been constructed. The pulsed power generator, named ASO-I, is extremely compact and light in comparison with a conventional pulsed power generator which consists of a Marx bank and a water pulse forming line. The ASO-I has a two-staged opening switch, consisting of fuses in water and a plasma erosion opening switch, and can be operated hundreds of times a day at the output power of 300kV and 40kA. The plasma erosion opening switch is successfully operated as a second opening switch, and the rise time of the current through the short-circuit load decreases from 250nsec to about 10nsec.
