Circuit simulation and analysis for Qiangguang-Ⅰ accelerator

The Qiangguang-Ⅰ accelerator is made up of linear transformer driver(LTD), water transmission line, water switch and diode. In this paper, parameters of the LTD, transmission line and water switch were estimated, and circuit models of nonlinear magnetic cores and pulse power drivers were established. In addition, properties of silicon steel magnetic cores were investigated by experiments, the results of which are perfectly in accord with the simulation ones of the LTD module and accelerator. The simulation shows that the magnetic cores was not saturated under current running status. And the output parameters would not alter for the LTD store capacitance changing from 2.8 μF to 4.0 μF with 35 kV charge voltage. These all would establish the basis for the enhancement of energy store and
