Abstract :
The coupled field-circuit model of the three-stage reluctance accelerator is presented in the paper. The finite element method (FEM) has been used to calculate the integral parameters of the model. The circuit model has been obtained with using the Lagrange formulation. In the mathematical model the mutual inductances, which influence the current waves in the coils, have been taken into account. The measurement verification has confirmed the correctness of the mathematical model.
