With the development of the electromagnetic launch (EML) technology, the requirement of the pulsed power supply is increasing. Capacitor-based pulsed power supply usually consists of several hundred kilojoule level pulsed power modules (PPM) in parallel. The PPM for EML system requires the capability of continuous working ability, high energy storage density and high peak current. A 100kJ compact PPM with rated operational voltage 10kV was designed, the output peak current was about 90kA, and the continuous working ability was 6 times per minute. The design and selection of main components in the module were simulated. At last, the PPM was used in the testing of the coil gun. It provides transient pulse current test platform and technical support for the subsequent construction of megajoule level pulsed power supply.
