In many high-voltage pulsed power systems the electric fields are predominantly inductive rather than electrostatic. That is, in the usual expression for generalized electric field, E = -0 C 4 A /at, @ is the scalar potential that gives rise to the electrostatic field, and A is the magnetic vector potential, fiom which the inductive field is derived. In problems where there are regions without charge separation or steady state currents flowing, the electrostatic component does not exist, and the usual technique of solving the scalar Laplace's equation for the potential is inappropriate for determining the electric fields. Calculation of the magnetic vector potential is plagued by choice o f gauge condition and specification of correct hounday conditions. Especially for coaxial (axisymmetric) systems typical of many pulsed power components and systems, where the current flow is in the r,z plane, there are two components of the vector potential that must he solve-ach with its own boundary conditions. Specification of all the correct boundary conditions is non-trivial.In this paper, we present a convenient technique for the calculation of inductive electric fields in coaxial systems. The technique is based on the introduction of a vector electric potential that is derived fmm Poisson's equation, in combination with Faraday's Law and the E, I) constitutive relation. In coaxial geometry, the electric vector potential is only azimuthal and, therefore, quasiscalar. It is conveniently calculated with any twodimensional Poisson equation solver, and the resultant inductive field distribution easily calculated. We have used the technique in several pulsed power system designs with success. Specific examples o f the application of the technique are given.
