Notes:
A new type of pulse transformer has been developed as a substitute for a Marx generator. In the transformer amorphous metallic cores are utilized with windings of cylindrical conductors. As a result, low leakage inductance is realized with high breakdown strength. The coupling coefficient of the transformer is estimated to be more than 0.99. By using the transformer of winding ratio of 1:3, a Blumlein pulse forming line of capacitance 20 nF is successfully charged up to 270 kV by using a capacitor bank of 240 nF, 90 kV. High speed charging of charging time=250 ns is realized with high efficiency of energy transfer (energy transfer efficiency from the capacitor bank to the pulse forming line was evaluated to be 76%). © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
