Abstract
The influence of the capacitor configuration in the pulse supply system for rail accelerators on its efficiency was investigated in the paper. Two different configurations were compared: the first with a parallel connection of capacitors and the second with a parallel-series connection. In both cases, the same number of capacitors was assumed. All other parameters of the device were kept constant, i.e. mass and dimensions of the armature, rail length and stator geometry. A field-circuit model was used to analyse numerically the transients for different capacitor configurations and voltage values. The model was verified experimentally.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
