Abstract
The compulsator or compensated pulsed alternator is the name for a large family of high-energy pulsed-power rotation machinery. It covers an extensive range of currents, voltages, pulse shapes, and also frequency in the case of multipulse generators. The compulsator embodies the single-element philosophy, combining in one element the energy storage, electromechanical energy conversion, and power conditioning. However, inside the machine such functions are done in a `staged' manner. Two examples are given to illustrate this design philosophy: the flat pulse air-core compulsator, and the high-voltage two stage uncompensated machine (uncompulsator), which is capable of reaching voltages above 100 kV
