High voltage power source for T-15 additional heating

The T-15 project includes the additional heating devices, which should increase the plasma temperature above the ohmically heated values. The main additional heating methods are neutral injection and electron cyclotron resonance. The complex of pulse power modulators is developed and put into operation before all the others technological systems. That complex is intended for high voltage power supply of injectors and HF-generators. The complex may be also used for the current entrainment regime. The main peculiarities modulator from traditional capacitor systems are essentially smaller dimensions, continuous readness for work, absence of energy requirement between pulses, posibility of different training pulses, absence of special cooling systems.
