Abstract

It is shown that an increase in the power of a probing-pulse generator is a desirable way to further increase the efficiency of EMA flaw detectors. A generator with an increased power was developed. Such a generator can form radio pulses of a current with a peak value of up to 200 A at a developed voltage of at least 500 V in an EMA transducer. The new generator is mainly intended for stationary EMA flaw detectors. It can supply transducers of virtually any type.
