Abstract
A multifilar inductor has a power winding, a containment winding, and a suppression winding around a magnetic core. A switching circuit coupled to the inductor has a first switch applying DC pulse energy to the power winding, and changes an operating mode of the inductor based on connections of input to output terminals of the inductor. A supervisory control unit is provided between a high voltage bank having stacked supercapacitor cells and a service bank storage system switchably coupled to a load. A diode-based suppression circuit suppresses back EMF generated by pulse power input to the power winding, and the containment winding contains field-emitted EMF created by the pulse power.

A method of providing a high-energy capacitive energy transform system, comprising:
- providing a multifilar inductor having a plurality of windings around a magnetic core including a power winding, a containment winding, and a suppression winding;
- deploying a switching circuit having a first switch applying direct current (DC) pulse energy to the power winding, and configured to change an operating mode of the inductor based on a coupling of input terminals to output terminals of the inductor;
- providing a supervisory control unit disposed between a high voltage (HV) bank and a service bank (SV);
- and
- providing a suppression circuit coupled to the inductor and comprising a diode suppressing back Electromagnetic Force (EMF) generated by pulse power input to the power winding of the inductor, and a containment circuit comprising the containment winding to contain field-emitted EMF created by the pulse power.
