Assembly and Operation of the Direct-Drive Pulser

Abstract

This report describes in detail the design, operation, and maintenance of a 12.5-kv direct-drive pulser used in the Minuteman In-Place Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Test Program. The pulser is intended to inject a pulse into electronic systems so that the effects of the transient pulse on the system under test can be determined. The detailed specifications of the pulser system are presented.
