Module 5
Pulsed Power Systems and Control
1
Capacitor Bank Design Specifications
Design the specifications for a capacitor bank, including total capacitance, voltage rating, and stored energy for a target field.
2
Capacitor Selection for Pulsed Magnet Applications
Evaluate different capacitor technologies (e.g., electrolytic, film) and select the appropriate type for a pulsed magnet application.
Crowbar Circuit Analysis: Pulse Extension & Coil Protection
Analyze the operation of a crowbar circuit to extend the pulse duration and protect the coil from reverse voltage.
High-Current Switches: Principles and Ratings
Describe the operating principles of high-current switches (e.g., ignitrons, thyristors) and calculate their required peak voltage and current ratings.
5
"Estimating and Assessing Power System Losses"
Estimate switching and conduction losses in the power system and assess their impact on achievable peak field.
6
Emergency Capacitor Discharge System Design
Design a dump resistor system to safely discharge a capacitor bank in case of an emergency or fault.
7
Complex Pulse Generation with Multi-Stage Capacitor Discharge.
Analyze multi-stage capacitor discharge systems with sequential triggering to generate complex pulse shapes.
8
Magnetic Energy Recovery Systems
Describe energy recovery systems that recapture magnetic field energy to improve efficiency and repetition rate.
