A Half Megawatt Pulse Forming Network (PFN).

Abstract

A lightweight half megawatt average power pulse forming network (PFN) designed a store 4 kilojoules (kJ) at 40 kilovolts has been developed. The energy storage system produces a 10 microsecond pulse at a repetition rate of 125 hertz and has a one ohm impedance. It is designed to operate adiabatically for durations of 60 seconds. A lifetime capability of over 400,000 pulses has been demonstrated. (Author)
