Elena Bankowski (US Army TARDEC)06/07/2016, 16:00High Voltage Design, Devices, Testing, and DiagnosticsOral PresentationIn an era when vehicle weight is very important to mission success, non-traditional technology must be developed to provide protection without adding parasitic weight to a vehicle, such as added by heavy armor packages. Electromagnetic Armor (EMA) is one possible technology that may accomplish the goal of achieving lighter weight with equal or greater protection levels. EMA is a system that...Go to contribution page

Cheng Zhang (Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Science)06/07/2016, 16:15High Voltage Design, Devices, Testing, and DiagnosticsOral PresentationRunaway electron beams play the dominant role in the process of nanosecond pulse discharges, which cannot be fully explained by traditional discharge theories and attracted continuous attentions. In this paper, a new collection device for runaway electrons in nanosecond pulse discharges based on faraday cup was investigated. A VPG-30-200 pulse generator was used to excite discharges and...Go to contribution page

Mr Fan Yang (State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation and Power Equipment)06/07/2016, 16:45Power Electronics and High VoltageOral PresentationThe reliable running of the transformers are extremely important for the electric system. However, during operating the transformers will inevitably suffers the various impacts, such as short-circuit current and mechanical vibrate. It will lead to permanent deformation, for example warping, shifting and bulge of the windings, within a power transformer. If cannot be detected on time, the...Go to contribution page

Michael Jaritz06/07/2016, 17:00High Voltage Design, Devices, Testing, and DiagnosticsOral PresentationFor the new linear collider at the European spallation source (ESS) in Lund, 2.88MW long pulse modulators with pulsed output voltages of 115kV and pulse lengths in the range of milliseconds are required. For generating many pulses, a long pulse modulator based on a modular series parallel resonant converter (SPRC) topology [1] has been developed. This converter is operated at high switching...Go to contribution page

Dr Dan Schweickart (Air Force Research Laboratory-WPAFB)06/07/2016, 17:15High Voltage Design, Devices, Testing, and DiagnosticsOral PresentationElectrical and electronic equipment used in aerospace applications must be designed to operate over a wide range of environmental conditions that include variations in pressure, temperature, and humidity. Electrical power systems for advanced aircraft utilize voltages well above the traditional levels of 12 to 42 Vdc and 115/200 Vac, 400 Hz. Current airborne systems can contain 270 Vdc, and...Go to contribution page
