We discuss the modeling of dielectric responses of electromagnetically excited networks which are composed of a mixture of capacitors and resistors. Such networks can be employed as lumped-parameter circuits to model the response of composite materials containing conductive and insulating grains. The dynamics of the excited network systems are studied using a state space model derived from a randomized...
When driving capacitive loads, pulses with steep falling edges are difficult to obtain using conventional pulsed power modulators, which also makes them unsuitable for operating at higher frequencies. In this paper, a repetitive high voltage pulse adder is described, which can generate nearly rectangular pulses even with capacitive loads. This pulse adder is based on solid-state switches, and each...
The High Voltage Convertor Modulators are used to power the RF klystrons used throughout the linear accelerator at the Spallation Neutron Source. The output voltage of the modulator has significant voltage droop and ripple which, combined with low level RF system limitations, affect performance and stability of the accelerator cavities. In conjunction with the progress in the development of the new...
Capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) is a developed technology that utilizes resonant converters topology for high power applications. This paper proposes new a capacitor charging power supply using leg-rotation control method within a phase-shifted PWM full-bridge dc/dc converter. The capacitor charging power supply was connected in series to increase output voltage. Also, the proposed system is...
In many pulsed power applications, high voltage and high frequency square pulses are needed. Traditional Marx type modulators based on solid-state switches often couldn't meet the requirements, especially on frequency and waveform. To solve the problems, a novel solid-state pulsed power modulator based on charging and driving by magnetic ring transformers is introduced in this paper. In order to obtain...
An all solid-state Marx modulator utilizing Insulated Gate Bipolar Translators (IGBTs) is capable of outputting pulses with variable pulse width, repetitive pulse frequency and varying voltage amplitude. But the relatively slow turn-on speed of IGBT with high current loads result in slow rise time of output pulses. If a magnetic switch (MS) is combined with an all solid-state Marx, it will be quite...
A nonlinear lumped element transmission line (NLETL) that consists of a nonlinear LC ladder network whose capacitors are nonlinear and inductors are linear can be used to produce oscillating pulses. This article describes the implementation of an oscillating pulse generator based on such high voltage nonlinear capacitive lines (NLCL) using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Instead of using...
This paper describes a novel MOSFET gate driver circuit design for pulsed power application. It is shown that MOSFET switching speed can be enhanced by using an energised inductor as a high current source in series with the gate terminal of a power MOSFET. This topology demonstrates switching speeds of less than 10ns for MOSFETs with high input gate capacitance. It is also shown that by increasing...
We study the dielectric strength of vacuum gaps of under 100 nm. We find their dielectric strengths to have a power law dependence on the gap size. We apply this power law to find that the dielectric strength of a vacuum gap of 10 nm between two tungsten electrodes is 6.5 V/nm. The dielectric strength can be used to compute the maximum energy density, charge density, and power density. For tungsten,...
In pulsed power system, mechanical characteristic means the structure of the plasma reactor, and impedance matching between the pulse generator and the plasma reactor means the electrical characteristics. It is a very important issue in the industry because impedance matching is closely related to the efficiency and reliability of the pulsed power system. In this paper, the design and implementation...
The Pulsed Power Physics Branch at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is developing a battery-powered, rep-rate charger for a 60 kJ capacitor bank. The goal is to charge a 4800 ??F capacitor to 5 kV in four seconds for a fifty shot burst. A bank of LiFePO4 batteries is used with a full H-bridge converter, a transformer, and a rectifier to transform ≈ 650 V battery voltage to a 5 kV...
In pulsed power systems, metallized polypropylene film capacitors (MPPFCs) facilitate the operation of the polypropylene film with a relatively small margin to its dc breakdown strength. The insulation resistance (IR) is one of the important factors that result in the reduction of the energy efficiency, as it represents a current leakage path through the dielectric. This paper concentrates on the...
This paper describes the design of a 48 kJ/s high-voltage capacitor charging power supply (CCPS), focusing on its efficiency, power density, and reliability. On the basis of a series-parallel resonant converter (SPRC) that provides high efficiency and high power density owing to its soft-switching, the design of the CCPS is explained in detail, including its input filter, resonant tank parameters,...
To use two separate vircators simultaneously for two-frequency multipulse testing, we designed and constructed a versatile modulator which drives two vircators in parallel. We present details of the design, including vircator design with particle-in-cell simulations using CST Particle Studio® and MAGIC. The system operates as planned. Microwave output of the vircators under various operating conditions...
Iron-based nanocrystalline ribbon has been widely used in pulsed power devices such as transformer, magnetic switch and linear transformer driver, due to its fast response to the high-frequency pulse, high permeability and low loss of magnetization. In this paper, the ns- and μs-range insulation characteristics of iron-based nanocrystalline ribbon coated by TiO2 film with μm-range thickness are studied...
