Power flow for vacuum-insulated inductive loads
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6377547
The transport of power through a vacuum insulator without flashover and through a short, self-magnetically insulated transmission line without gap shorting severely constrains the stored energy of the inductive load for 30 ns to 300 ns drive times. An electrostatic gap closure mechanism is presented and evaluated. The gap closure constraints are then combined with constraints imposed by magnetic insulation of the electrons from the cathode and by the vacuum insulator flashover to examine the vacuum power flow from a systems point of view. It is concluded that multimegajoule drivers will be multi-megavolt sources.
