IGBT Switching action has been confirmed with acceptable transient voltages. IGBT short circuit current limiting and safe turn-off have been confirmed for turning on into a short and “spark-type” short circuits. Design for a 10 stage pulser is complete. conclusions
Starting to specify and order parts for 10-stage Expect to have parts ordered by end of January Parts should be here in 3 months Begin mechanical design and layout beginning of February. Future plans
