Abstract :
Total weight of reset toroidal-core pulse transformers is derived here in terms of core area and core length. A digital computer is used to find minimum weight over a range from 1 to 400 lb (pounds); pulse power up to 50 mw (megawatts); secondary voltage up to 200 kv; and pulse durations from 0.1 to 1,000 ¿sec (microseconds). A design chart is given to find minimum weight. A typical transformer represents 23% of the weight of a conventional cut-core design.
