more energy into the system is, to increase the supply voltage. Of
course you need to increase the inductance of the primary circuit in
this case....
From my experience, I'd take Terry Fritz's "guesstimated" extrapolated
800A peak instantaneous current limit very seriously if you want the
SIDACs
and IGBTs to last more than a minute.
Of course, the "new" SIDACs and bricks might survive more!
