Abstract

Energy compression techniques are analyzed. A most advanced method is a combination of magnetic and fast semiconductor switching. An equivalent circuit of an inductive storage Semiconductor Opening Switch (SOS)-based puiser [1] was developed and analyzed using a PSpice platform. It comprised a number of non-linear elements representing all-solid state switches and saturation inductors and transformers. An extensive experimental study of the described technique was performed using an SM-4N SOS-pulser yielding 50MW 20ns pulses. Electrical diagnostics means for monitoring nanosecond HV pulses was developed. It comprised specialty capacitive dividers, current shunts and transformers and Rogowski coils. The puiser was characterized both with an ohmic and gas discharge load. It was found that simulation and test results are in a fair agreement for a resistive load. The simulation model will be used for design of a high-power puiser intended for driving a pulsed corona discharge [3], [4].
