Production of pulsed magnetic fields with a flat pulse top of 440 k0e and 1 msec duration

Abstract

A capacitance discharge unit for the production of pulsed magnetic fields up to 440 k0e is described. The pulse formed by a passive network has a field plateau of approximately 1 msec duration for a half-period of ∼ 3.5 msec and a field ripple of Δ H/H ≤ 1%. The unit occupies approximately 10 m2, the total weight is 600 kg. It can be produced at low cost.
