Description

An IGBT switch together with a blocking diode is normally used for the primary switch in a magnetic pulse compression circuit. In the presented paper a full bridge configuration as a primary switch is proposed. The configuration shows advantages especially for high repletion rate systems. It shows also higher efficacies because no special network is necessary for the reflected energy. The system can work with different kind of loads including short circuit and open loop. Design, calculations und first test results are presented.
