EXPLODING BRIDGEWIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TEST UNIT,

Abstract

The object of the test was to develop a method to field test the Exploding Bridgewire (EBW) System for proper functioning prior to use. Two basic designs were conceived and tested. The first design using a two element spark gap and a calibrated fuse link did not prove successful. The second method using a passive network and a three element spark gap was shown to be capable of yielding an adequate tst for EBW Systems. (Author)
