Abstract :
The University of Missouri-Columbia is developing a compact pulsed power system to condition the high current signal from a flux compression generator (FCG) to the high voltage, high frequency signal required for many pulsed power applications. The system consists of a non-magnetic core, spiral-wound transformer, series exploding wire fuse, and an oscillating mesoband source. The flux compression generator is being built by Texas Tech Univ. and is designed to drive inductive loads on the order of microhenries rather than a nanohenry load often driven by FCGs.
