Railgun Capacitor Bank Charging and Trigger Circuit
Drawing preview
Lo scenario

A high-voltage DC supply charges a parallel capacitor bank through a current-limiting resistor and isolation diode. A bleed resistor safely discharges the bank when idle, while an SCR trigger switch dumps stored energy through the railgun armature/rails.

Cosa contiene questo disegno

Leggi le decisioni che ne stanno alla base.

01

Parallel capacitor bank increases stored energy while keeping ESR low

02

Isolation diode prevents the capacitor bank from feeding back into the charger

03

SCR switch modeled as high-current SPST to fire the railgun pulse

Use this template for introductory railgun, coilgun, or pulsed-power discharge circuits where a capacitor bank is charged from a DC supply and triggered into a low-impedance inductive load.
