Abstract
A pulsed transformer capable of providing up to 500 kilovolt or higher, 10 nanosecond rise time, and 1000 joule or higher pulses comprising non-conducting or insulated transformer cores each separated by conductive grading rings wherein n coaxial cables in combination with the grading rings are connected in parallel at one end and in series at their other ends. The transformer may function as either an inverting or non-inverting transformer. In a transformer with n cables, if a pulse voltage of V is applied to the input, an output voltage of nV will appear at the output. The cores function to isolate the coxial cables and permit them to be connected in series at their one end. Weight may be minimized by operating the transformer in gaseous Freon rather than transformer oil.
