Abstract
A capacitor cell of a capacitive energy storage designed for operating with an arc load is described. The cell that stores an energy of 64 kJ is based on a high-voltage (18 kV) capacitor and allows formation of current pulses with an amplitude of up to 60 kA. The discharge circuit of the cell contains a semiconductor switch in the form of an assembly of reverse switch-on dynistors (RSDs) connected in series, a crowbar diode switch, and a replaceable toroidal inductor. An assembly of protecting diodes connected in series to the RSD switch excludes the possibility of a flow of reverse-current pulses through dynistors. All elements of the cell are mounted on the capacitor and occupy a volume of 120 dm3.
