Re: [TCML] charging reactors



Hi Jim,

You might have found something already, but I'd recommend Stangenes Industries in Palo Alto. They built the charging reactor for Electrum in 1998, which is still working well. Here's their site:

Magna is one of the world's experts on pulsed and HV magnetics.   GL


So, if one needed to build or buy a dozen charging inductors for a resonant charged spark gap coil, where would one look..

It's for an application where there's multiple coils being charged from a common HV DC bus.

Probably need 5-10 H, and it needs to handle a few hundred mA to amp (e.g. 10kW @ 10kV is an amp), and, of course, have a 10-20kV voltage rating.

I'm looking for ideas that are either off-the-shelf or made from off the shelf things (e.g. no scrounging a half dozen MOTs and then sawing an air gap and rewinding it)

(or, some other clever scheme to charge the primary tanks of multiple coils)

Jim
