doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1093.2017.04.005

Abstract

Abstract: A capacitor-based pulsed power supply (PPS) with reversely switched dynistor (RSD) is develop to study the launch mechanism of electromagnetic railguns. The RSD for which controlled plasma converter technology is used shows the following characteristics: simultaneous switching response in whole area, lower switch-on losses, higher power capacity, higher current transfer efficiency and long service life. A multi-module parallel structure with sixteen 64 kJ pulse power modules is applied. PPS adopts a compact and integrated design as well as built-in functions, such as charging, control, protection and measurement. Operational voltage of PPS is 18 kV, the stored energy is 1 MJ, the discharge waveform can be adjusted through the sequential control, and the short-circuit synchronization discharge peak current is 960 kA. Several launch tests were conducted on 20 mm caliber electromagnetic launching (EML) device with PPS, The experimental results show that the system has high reliability, and is capable of outputting adjustable current waveform. PPS can fulfill the research needs of hypervelocity launch experiment in EML. Key
