← ScienceWhich risk increases when a pulsed-power capacitor bank's equivalent series inductance (ESL) is minimized?
A)Excessive electromagnetic interference generation✓
B)Reduced energy discharge half-life
C)Diminished peak power pulse output
D)Increased inter-capacitor current imbalances
💡 Explanation
Minimizing ESL increases the speed of discharge, thus generating very fast transient electromagnetic fields. This causes strong EMI because radiated power scales with the square of frequency; therefore, managing EMI risks becomes challenging, rather than slower pulse timing.
