This paper presents an overview of custom design requirements for components and power supplies used in pulsed power systems as well as some interesting examples. Various custom design criteria for energy storage capacitors, energyabsorbing resistors, high current fuses, and capacitor charging power supplies are described. In addition, specially designed components are characterized through both simulation and experimental measurements for pulse power system applications.Index Terms: Pulsed power system, energy storage capacitor, capacitor charging power supply (CCS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
