Abstract

The reusable linear magnetic flux compressor is an ideal pulsed power supply for the electric gun. Based on the theoretical analysis of the model of the reusable linear magnetic flux compressor, which was completed by the authors, it is found that the pulse transformer not only can extend the application field of this flux compressor, but also can increase the current amplification. In order to verify this result, the authors used the computer code RMFC-I to perform some numerical experiments. The results of these numerical experiments show the same conclusion
