Final Design and Commissioning Test Results for the Hypervelocity Launcher Research Complex Battery Power Supply
Abstract
The preliminary design of the battery power supply (BPS) was reported to the 6th IEEE Pulsed Power Conference [1]. In 1987, the final design was completed, assembled, and sequentially verified during approximately 1750 operational verification tests. These experiments consisted of single-string verifications at 1000 amperes to a system discharge of 21,500,000 amperes. Final system design is very similar to the preliminary design previously presented. System fabrication is complete and at the present time consists of 858, 16-battery series strings resulting in 13,728 operational batteries.
