Abstract

Pulsed power conditioning elements between the energy-storing capacitor banks and the radiation loads have been the major cost driver for large simulators. The cost is driven by the pulsed power requirements needed to provide the necessary spectral and temporal characteristics of the radiation output for Nuclear Weapons Effects Testing (NWET), as well as for assuring efficient production of the radiation. During the past forty years, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has developed pulsed power elements and systems that are lowering the cost of X-ray simulators. This paper discusses these technologies including capacitors, closing switches, water pulse lines, vacuum interfaces, plasma opening switches, and vacuum power flow.

开发更经济实惠的大型x射线模拟器的技术
储能电容器组和辐射负载之间的脉冲功率调节元件一直是大型模拟器的主要成本驱动因素。成本的驱动因素是为核武器效应试验(NWET)提供必要的辐射输出光谱和时间特性所需的脉冲功率,以及确保有效生产辐射。在过去的四十年中,国防威胁减少局(DTRA)开发了脉冲功率元件和系统,降低了x射线模拟器的成本。本文讨论了这些技术,包括电容器、闭合开关、水脉冲线、真空接口、等离子体打开开关和真空功率流。
