Abstract
Abstract
A pulse current generator applied in a type of high-yield
intense pulsed neutron source, the Dense Plasma Focus (DPF), is
designed and developed in this paper. There are three key components
in this generator. Each group of capacitors and switches is
integrative to meet the DPF's requirements of low circuit
inductance. A coaxial multi-channel switch is developed to solve the
problems of the switch inductance, the jitter and the electrode
erosion. A kind of sectorial plate transmission line is adopted to
transfer the high pulse current from the capacitors to the DPF. The
following technical parameters of the generator were achieved on
dummy load: output current amplitude of ∼560 kA when primary
capacitors are charged with 22 kV.
