Test of High Performance Capacitors

Abstract

The long duration vortex flow spark gap we previously tested and reported at the 15th power modulator symposium has been used to test high energy density, repped burst mode capacitors. Projected capacitor life based on voltage levels greater than design values is presented. In addition, the large number of test pulses at high coulomb transfer has yielded extensive electrode erosion data.
