Abstract :
In this paper, a new method for current pulse shape conditioning is presented taking a two-phase, 4 poles, slotless and iron-based passive compulsator (PCPA) as an example. The method is based on changing the number of turns of two-phase windings placed orthogonally, while the number of conductors per pole is kept fixed. A conventional electrothermal chemical gun system (ETC) is simulated using this machine as power supply. The simulation results indicate that it is feasible to provide pulse-shaping flexibility compared with a two-phase PCPA, whose two-phase windings are also placed orthogonally with equal turns. The machine is suitable for use as the power supply for conventional ETC.
