Abstract:
1. An interrogator plug for monitoring the voltage characteristics of power storage device of a pulsed power system, comprising: a plug body having an exterior portion and a plug portion, the plug portion insertable into an output socket of the power storage device of the pulsed power system, wherein the plug portion is sized to replicate the size and shape of the portion of a conventional plug insertable into the output socket; the plug body housing comprising: a first lead assembly having a first contact operably engaged with a first external lead extending from the exterior portion of the plug body, wherein the first contact is positioned to engage at least one contact of the output socket of the pulsed power system; a second lead assembly having a first contact operably engaged with a second external lead extending from the exterior portion of the plug body, wherein the first contact is positioned to engage at least one contact of the output socket of the pulsed power system; a voltage divider circuit operably engaged to the first and second lead assemblies for providing a voltage below 10 kV; and a coaxial output positioned on the exterior portion of the plug body engagable by a voltage measurement device for measuring the reduced voltage provided by the voltage divider circuit.
