Abstract
The PBFA I accelerator has been tested and is operational at its full power rating of 30 TW. The PBFA I experiments demonstrated that the multi-modular approach to superpower generators is viable. The modular outputs can be combined in parallel or series-parallel combinations of the magnetically insulated transmission lines to power single, ion-beam diodes or imploding plasma sources. The coupling efficiency between the magnetically insulated transmission lines for time varying loads is less efficient than it is for ordinary transmission lines.
