The Pulsed Power Systems group grew out of the Power Supply product line acquired from Maxwell Technologies in 2000.  Working together with our affiliate companies, General Atomics and Power Converters, General Atomics Electronic Systems / General Atomics Energy Products can now offer integrated solutions involving power supplies, capacitors, solid-state switching, and advanced controls.

If your application is outside our range of capabilities, we would be happy to refer you to one of our many customers who design and manufacture power systems.

Pulse Forming Networks
One of the major circuit applications of General Atomics Energy Products capacitors is that of Pulse Forming Networks or PFNs. PFNs are usually comprised of a number of capacitors and inductors arranged so that the discharge pulses from the capacitors are spaced in time, resulting in a square or trapezoidal current pulse with a relatively flat top. Rectangular pulses are needed for various types of loads, including charged particle accelerators, microwave sources, and lasers.
