Abstract
In this paper, we give a review of some most powerful pulsed systems developed at the Institute of High Current Electronics (HCEI), Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, and describe latest achievements of the teams dealing with these installations. Besides the presented high-power systems, HCEI performs numerous investigations using much less powerful generators. For instance, last year much attention was paying to the research and development of the intense low-energy (<200 kV) high-current electron and ion beam and plasma sources, and their application in the technology [1–3].
Highlights
For the achievements in these areas, the High Current Electronics (HCEI) researchers have received numerous government prizes, and HCEI is often listed among the best institutions of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences
Air insulated Linear transformer drivers (LTDs) are designed of the bricks with GA35426 (100 kV, 40 nF) double ended capacitors in plastic cases, which are sealed in pairs into the single epoxy body (Fig. 13) [25]
The results described above, as well as the development of various low-energy high-current particle beam and plasma sources for technological application [1e3] demonstrate that the Institute of High Current Electronics is a progressive member of the modern world-wide pulsed power community
Summary
The Institute of High Current Electronics (HCEI) was founded in 1977 upon the initiative of the Academician Gennady A. From the very beginning HCEI was an academic institute whose main purpose was development of high-power pulsed systems for different applications. The most powerful high-current generator of HCEI is called GIT-12 (Generator of Impulse Current, see Fig. 1). At 70 kV charge voltage the GIT-12 stores 5 MJ of energy [4]. The goal of the research is to improve the energy coupling between the Marx generators and different radiating loads, and to provide desired output voltage (or current) amplitude depending on the load preferences [5e7]
