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 [1]
- "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."
