Foundations of Pulsed Power Technology
About this book
Examines thefoundation of pulse power technology in detail to optimize the technology in modern engineering settings
Pulsed power technologies could be an answerto many cutting-edge applications.The challenge is in how to develop this high-power/high-energy technology to fitcurrent market demands of low-energy consuming applications.This book provides a comprehensive look at pulsed power technology and shows how it can be improved upon for the world of today and tomorrow.
Foundations of Pulsed Power Technology focuses on the design and construction of the building blocks as well as their optimum assembly for synergetic high performance of the overall pulsed power system. Filled with numerous design examples throughout, the book offers chapter coverage on various subjects such as: Marx generators and Marx-like circuits; pulse transformers; pulse-forming lines; closing switches; opening switches; multi-gigawatt to multi-terawatt systems; energy storage in capacitor banks; electrical breakdown in gases; electrical breakdown in solids, liquids and vacuum; pulsed voltage and current measurements; electromagnetic interference and noise suppression; and EM topology for interference control. In addition, the book:
- Acts as a reference for practicing engineers as well as a teaching text
- Features relevant design equations derived from the fundamental concepts in a single reference
- Contains lucid presentations of the mechanisms of electrical breakdown in gaseous, liquid, solid and vacuum dielectrics
- Provides extensive illustrations and references
Foundations of Pulsed Power Technology will be an invaluable companion for professionals working in the fields of relativistic electron beams, intense bursts of light and heavy ions, flash X-ray systems, pulsed high magnetic fields, ultra-wide band electromagnetics, nuclear electromagnetic pulse simulation, high density fusion plasma, and high energy- rate metal forming techniques.
