==The needs in Compact Pulsed Power X-Pinch Generators==

*N.Ratakhin et al. "Compact pulse power generator for X-pinch researches" 28th ICPIG, July 15-20, 2007, Prague, Czech Republi [http://icpig2007.ipp.cas.cz/files/download/cd-cko/ICPIG2007/pdf/3P15-14.pdf]
**"The main requirements imposed on the generator are the current amplitude 150-300 kA and the rate of the current rise 1-2 kA/ns. At the moment, these parameters of the current pulse can be provided only by enough large fixed-site generators weighing from 300 kg to several tons. These shortcomings limit to a great extent the feasibility of this diagnostic technique in studies of extreme states. Therefore, the design of a portable pulse generator which provides the required parameters makes it possible to proceed to a new level of diagnostics of fast processes."
