250 kA compact linear transformer driver for wire array z-pinch loads

250 kA compact linear transformer driver for wire array z-pinch loads

We present the application of a short rise (∼150  ns) 250 kA linear transformer driver (LTD) to wire array z-pinch loads for the first time. The generator is a modification of a previous driver in which a new conical power feed provides a low inductance coupling to wire loads. Performance of the new...
