Modeling a 3.5 MEV Induction Voltage Adder

This paper presents three models for the induction voltage adder (IVA) from a novel perspective. Firstly, it proposes a specific model based on the concept of transformer from analyzing the principle of the IVA injector. In a certain condition, the specific model can be predigested to a lumped element model. When the electrical transit time of the IVA is comparable to, or even longer than the pulse duration, a distribution element model must be applied.
