Electromagnetic Design of Pulsed Alternators

Because of their special structure and operating conditions, the pulsed alternators’ design method and operating characteristics are different from the conventional ones. This chapter mainly expounds following aspects: the design methods of pulsed alternators, including the choice of poles, phases and main dimensions, calculation of electromagnetic parameters, analysis of no-load magnetic field and discharging characteristics, the establishment of mathematical model, the analysis of pulsed alternators by finite element modeling, and the introduction of its design process.
