Abstract :
Design and analysis of pulsed power supply for electric armor has been performed. In order to distort a shaped charge jet by an electric armor system effectively, the power supply should provide a fast rising high current pulse. Capacitive pulsed power supply which consists of high voltage capacitors, coaxial cables and load was modeled. Electrical parameters were surveyed as follows; capacitance 50 ~ 1200uF, load inductance 0.5~2 uH, load resistance 1~10 mOhm, charging voltage 10 ~ 40 kV. Estimation of peak current, time to peak current and voltage reversal has been conducted.
