Asymmetry Reduction in Double Eagle

Abstract

Asynchronism in the arrival of power at the insulator-vacuum interface of a pulsed power machine leads directly to a loss of power delivered to that interface1 , in addition to problems associated with possible loss of insulation. With the advent of larger pulsed power machines composed of multiple modules feeding a central vacuum region, the need to reduce the asymmetry in the power density delivered to that region has become an issue of some importance. The asymmetry might result from switching in the individual modules or, as we discuss here, from geometrical effects. In this paper we examine how such geometrical asymmetries in Double EAGLE 2 might be mitigated.
