Investigation of Effective Parameters on the Electro Explosive Fuses Operation

Different parameters are effective on Electro Explosive Fuses (EFF) operation. Because of these fuses applications in high voltage generators, their recognition and investigation are of great importance. In this paper, firstly, related equations of fuse length and cross sectional area in various parts are completely presented. Then, these fuses behavior is modeled in PSpice using obtained equations. Electrical conduction model is used for modeling. After that, to evaluate efficiency of presented model, it is simulated and the effects of different parameters such as fuse length, cross sectional area and pulse generator circuit parameters are investigated. Finally, results obtained from modeling and simulations prove the importance of these parameters effects on the EEF operation.
