Great news: Inauguration of our new flexible pulsed current source!
Operating at a 10 kV charge voltage with 8 robust modules, the system delivers up to 24 kA and 800 kJ of energy. Utilizing advanced FPGA control and non-isolated Hall sensor technology, it achieves rapid current ramping up to 80 kA/ms with versatile pulse durations up to several 100ms.
