This document describes the operation principle and design steps of a modular Inductive Adder (IA) pulse generator delivering relatively long, high-current pulses. Two case studies will be employed, Future Circular Collider-like design (FCC), and Large Hadron Collider-like design (LHC). AC (Alternat-ive Current) IA topology brings the high modularity into the generator design, aiming a moderate high voltage stress of power components (mainly switches) and mitigation of consequences due to critical failure modes of individual semiconductors, such as missing or erratics.
