Study of Operation Principle of a Novel Brushless Self-Excited Air-Core Compensated Pulsed Alternator

Air-core compensated pulsed alternator (ACPA) has been applied to the field of pulsed power technology, especially electromagnetic launch. The high-field current and the rotating speed of the ACPA bring the benefits of high power and energy density, but also make it suffer from low reliability and poor performance due to the serious heat and wear in the slip rings and brushes. To solve this proble...
