What is Pulsed Power?
• Pulsed power is a scheme where energy is stored slowly and discharged rapidly as electrical energy into a load in a single short pulse or as short pulses with a controllable repetition rate
Up to 10’s of kV, 10’s of A, and 100’s of W
millisecond to seconds
Up to a 10’s of MV, 10’s of
MA, and 100’s of GW
picoseconds to milliseconds

Pulsed Power Systems
• Prime Power Source: Usually a DC voltage or current source (10’s of kV, 100’s of A, 10’s of kJ)
• Energy Storage: Capacitors, Inductors, Batteries, Rotating Machines, etc.
• Switching: Gas or liquid breakdown switches, explosive switches, fuses, solid state switches, etc.
• Pulse Shaping: Using transmission lines to set the rise time and pulse duration of the pulse
• Loads: Coming next

Pulsed Power History
Until about 1970, most pulsed power research was conducted in National Laboratories and a few industrial companies. Most results were only published in internal reports, many of which were classified (Secret). Serious University pulsed power research was started at Texas Tech University in the early 1970’s and in 1976 the first International Pulsed Power Conference was organized and hosted by TTU. This conference and its proceedings are now the main forum for information exchange in this field. This bi-annual conference now has over 600 participants from all over the world. Also the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science became an official pulsed power journal (in addition to plasma research) The last conference was held in Chicago, Illinois on June 19-23
http://ppc.missouri.edu/ The next conference will be held in San Francisco in June 2013.

High Voltage Switch Demo
• Variac – Transformer where we vary the number of secondary turns to increase the output voltage
• 120 VAC – 60 Hz is put in. By adjusting the turns, we can increase the output to as high as 15000 V. A diode rectifier converts it to DC on the output
• Spark Gap switch is used to switch high voltage from the source to the load
