Trigger technology of modular pulsed power source using solid-state switches

To develop a high power pulsed source with high-repetition-rate operation and compact size, a trigger control system design of high voltage generator with inductive isolators is presented. The key techniques to build a control system of pulsed power source using solid-state switches(silicon controlled rectifier) are studied with optic components, driving circuit, and pulse transformer with high dielectric strength as high voltage isolator and optical data link. These techniques are trigger signal high voltage isolation, optical splitter, and pulse transformer parallel link or series link. Design and test results of the control system on single module are presented. Experiments show 32 kV output voltage with 4 kV input charge voltage of 5 stages LC generator, the generators conversion of
