An Analysis of Co-Axial Pulse Transformers
Abstract
The basic idea of using a co-axial cable as an isolation pulse transformer for triggering spark gaps is not new. However, there are several distinct advantages of driving the braid as the primary as opposed to driving the inner conductor. The fundamental advantage is that the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage is unaffected by the thickness of insulation between the inner conductor(s) and the braid. Thus, the transformer with the braid as the primary works well for isolating high secondary to primary voltages. This and other advantages are demonstrated.
