Systems, apparatuses, and methods for pulse shaping in high voltage power systems
A high voltage pulse power delivery system is provided that includes dedicated safety features including fault detection and fault management. Alongside normal communications cabling, the pulse power delivery system provides remote power over standard multi-conductor cabling without dedicated conduit or separation. This simplifies installation of equipment, increases overall speed of deployment, and significantly reduces cost for deployment. The pulse power delivery system is further configured to transport power through a pulse current waveform.
