Advanced Compulsator Technology

چکیده
Rotating electrical machines with their inherently high inertial energy density are finding applications in a variety of laboratory based as well as field based pulsed power systems. Of particular interest to the electromagnetic/ electrothermal launch community is the campensated pulsed alternator. This machine has over the past few years shown greater potential, because, besides the high energy density various means have been devised to increase the waveform flexibility. Efforts continue simultaneously to enhance the energy density. Various designs have evolved in the process and each have their advantages and disadvantages. The type of compulsators to be used is very dependent on the application. The issues involved in the appropriate selection are discussed. Electrothermal guns require a current profile which is quite different than their EM counterparts. A new method of obtaining this current pulse is discussed. This new variant also facilitates the self-motoring of the machine between bursts. This machine as applied to a 60 mm ETC is discussed.
