Power supply system of a linear induction accelerator with magnetic compression of current pulses

There is now great interest to magnetic compression systems - magnetic pulse generators (MPG) which permit to form pulses up to TW units . Magnetic generators are used in pulse power systems of linear induction accelerators. Pulse power of 620 MW is obtained with the obtained pulse generator on 1 Ohm active load, 25 kV output voltage, 300 ns pulse duration at the 0.5 level. Time compression coefficient is 31, current coefficient ,25. It is shown that designing high-power MPG allowing formation of current pulses with parameters typical for pulse power systems of linear induction accelerators is due to the development of compression chain design providing low residual induction. Reduction of parasitic inductions of discharge circuits of MPG functional model compression chains is achieved by application of large-size cores for magnetic switches and axial symmetrical arrangement of compression chain elements
