“…The capacitors are a coaxial geometry and in negative polarity, the center conductor which has the highest field stress, is the cathode. Water breakdown experiments have shown approximately a factor of two increase in voltage hold-off in water when the enhanced electrode is the cathode compared to the anode [4]. Reversing the Marx polarity reverses the polarity of the large water capacitors so that the highest field stress is on the anode.…”

RITS-6 is an inductive voltage adder based accelerator used for radiographic diode research and development. A recent experiment was conducted to demonstrate that a negative polarity induction voltage adder could operate in positive polarity, at reduced voltage, with minimal reconfiguration and maintenance. Circuit simulations, 2-D electrostatic field calculations, and particle-in-cell simulations were used to evaluate operation of RITS-6 in positive polarity and design hardware modifications. Changes to the RITS-6 accelerator during the conversion from negative-polarity high voltage (5-11 MV) output to positive-polarity low voltage (2-3 MV) output are discussed. The first positive polarity rod-pinch experiment generated 3.5 rad from a 1-mm spot size, comparable to previously published rod-pinch experiments on positive polarity accelerators.

“…Modern pulsed power has its genesis in the pioneering work of the late John Christopher Martin and his colleagues at the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston, U.K., in the 1960s [1]. "Charlie," as he was known to the community, was a hydrodynamicist who was frustrated by his inability to purchase an adequate X-ray radiography source to image the dynamic phenomena he was interested in.…”

Public Reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comment regarding this burden estimates or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302, and Shamiloglu, E., Barker, R.J., Gundersen, M., and Neuber, A.A. PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)University In this introduction to the Special Issue on pulsed power and its applications, background information is provided for the nonspecialist to better understand the many challenges in designing pulsed power systems, and the wide diversity of applications that are now emerging. The approach to providing a tutorial on pulsed power technology is to make available to the reader the paper written by J.C. Martin which appeared in a Special Section of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE on pulsed power technology in June 1992. That paper is supplemented in this introduction with additional information that complements many of the invited papers composing this Special Issue.

“…Although coaxial pulsed power apparatuses are widespread, researches on discharge characteristic over transformer oil/solid interfaces under nanosecond pulsed coaxial field, as opposed to discharge characteristic over gas/solid or vacuum/solid interfaces under uniform field, are less, which can't meet the rapid development of pulsed power technology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Surface flashover, whether applied dc, ac or impulse voltages, are closely relevant to potential distribution gradient along interfaces between different dielectrics.…”
