Description
Summary:Tesla transformers find a wide range of applications from particle accelerators to HPM generators and compact repetitive EMP generators. Their design and analysis require detailed numerical modelling, particularly when the system is housed in a metallic cylindrical container. The paper presents a numerical modelling technique which allows the very accurate calculation of the resistance and inductance of the transformer, taking into account the magnetic diffusion process that gives rise to skin and proximity effects, and all the magnetic interaction between components affecting the system performance.
