A power supply for flash lamp (flashlamp, gas discharge lamp) consists of a high-voltage DC charging supply (for example, PCA-series), an energy-storage capacitor bank (CB-series or other), a discharge circuit (for ex., NBU-1012 discharge circuit).
For partial discharge during the time t, the discharge circuit transfers energy E from the capacitor bank to the lamp, the voltage on which goes down from U0 to Ueop
Peak current through the flashlamp during the pulse Ipeak should not exceed some limit (1kA for our FLD-4U)
If (Uo-Ueop)/Uo less than 5%, one assume the pulse shape is rectangular
