Abstract
A generator design with a pulse energy of more than 1 MJ connected to an external constant voltage source with limited current strength and power is proposed. The power supply of an active-inductive load is calculated numerically and analytically. Generator parameters for pulse-frequency operation are determined. The efficiency of this generator and the validity of the method for calculating its characteristics are confirmed by the results of an experimental study of a small-size transformer generator.
