High-frequency characterization of an amorphous magnetic material and its use in an induction adder configuration

We determined the magnetic properties of an amorphous magnetic material at high frequency by driving induction cells with a pulse power source of 100and 200-ns duration. We found that this material can offer a flux swing of around 2 T with magnetizing currents of 2-3 kA/m. We used these results to design an adder configuration, and voltage addition has been demonstrated.
