MP2-HPP3000
Design concept for high-peak-current pulse generation using two DC power supplies with different voltage settings.
The MP2-HPP3000 concept combines two separately connected DC power supplies with different voltage settings to generate a high-current pulse. The source design concept specifies a target maximum peak current of 3,000 A and an approximate hold time of 80 microseconds at 3,000 A.

Functional roles
| Input | Function described in the source |
|---|---|
| DC input voltage 1 (DC1) | Adjusts current rise and fall time. |
| DC input voltage 2 (DC2) | Adjusts the current level during the pulse plateau. |
Power-supply requirements
The concept calls for two separate DC power supplies: one with a maximum output of 600 V DC and the other with a maximum output of 400 V DC. The source does not specify which voltage rating maps to DC1 or DC2, so no mapping is assumed here.
