Generation of intense pulsed electric fields in a large volume of water verified using Kerr effect diagnostics

A pulsed power system for generating intense pulsed electric fields (PEFs) in a very large volume of water was designed, manufactured, and tested as a first step toward the proof-of-principle demonstration of a novel noninvasive prepacked food processing operation. The MV-class system described in t...
