Parallel-Plate Windings Transformer for Pulsed Power Applications
Abstract
Two sizes of the parallel-plate windings transformer with 10:1 step down turns ratios have been designed, tested at 10 kV, 500 kA, installed and have now been operating for several months in the ZT-40 RFP experiment at Los Alamos. The total leakage inductance for these three turn secondary transformers referred to the secondary has been measured at 9 nh for the larger transformer and 8 nh for the smaller transformer. Since these transformers were designed for use with a load having relatively high d.c. resistance, the d.c. resistance of aluminum windings was acceptable.
