CHAPTER 4 RECHARGING SYSTEM 4.1 Recharging Requirements After each firing of a group of drive coils, energy must be supplied to the sector capacitor in order for it to be fully charged for the next firing. Energy loss from the sector capacitor is due to energy transfer to the bucket and to resistive heating in the drive coils, feeders, and sector capacitor. Measurements of sector capacitor voltage before and after firing were made in order to determine total resistive heating loss. The initial stored energy in the sector capacitor is: The voltage on the capacitor after a half cycle is given by:
