While defense has historically been the primary driver of pulsed power system development (see our previous blogs: 5 Things to Know About Pulse Power and More Pulse Power History), a broad range [...]

While APELC does everything possible to make our systems low-maintenance and reliable, the honest truth is that any high-voltage system has unique failure modes that require some specialized [...]

The Challenge: Unreliable Power Supplies in Pulsed Power Applications For over 25 years, APELC has been a leader in pulsed power technology. We’ve focused heavily on designing and building [...]

With our last couple of blog entries, we have talked a lot about MIL-STD-461G RS105 testing, especially given our recent installation of a 2m EUT RS105 system at Naval Information Warfare Center [...]

Recently, APELC had the pleasure to install one of our 2m RS105 HEMP simulators at the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific in San Diego. NIWC states their mission as “Conduct [...]

2023 Year in Review LANL contract APELC took a major step ahead in 2023 from being an R&D-oriented pulse power firm, to a full production manufacturer. Thanks in large part to the NNSA’s [...]

At APELC, we specialize in Marx Generators and other pulsed power systems. These systems are characterized by their ability to generate high-voltage/high peak-power pulses of electrical energy [...]

After our last blog entry, “5 Things to Know About Pulse Power” in which we covered some of the origins of pulse power, I received some feedback from the corner office. Our CEO brought up a few [...]

In November of 2020, The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published a publicly-available document titled, “High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse Hardening Pilot Projects: Status and Future [...]
