2.2 MJ Capacitor Bank
02 Definition
An array of electrical capacitors used to store and rapidly discharge large amounts of energy for pulsed-power applications. In fusion research, capacitor banks power theta-pinch coils, liner implosions, and plasma guns. The Shiva Star facility's capacitor bank stores up to 10 MJ at voltages exceeding 100 kV, discharging in 1–10 microseconds.
