Megavolt pulse transformer powered by a fast plate generator
Abstract
A compact air-core resistive impedances 20 (DAMEDA) when powered by fast explosive plate generators. The step-up transformer features many of the techniques employed in the tape wound transformers. The primary windng of the transformer is a discrete, single-turn coil. The multiturn secondary coil is fabricated separately, encapsulated in a thin-walled container, and vacuum impregnated with dielectric grading fluid. Once assembled, the transformer is immersed in oil. This transformer has a 0.8 coupling coefficient. Transformers of this type are especially attractive for single shot applictions because of their simplicity and ease of construction.
