Introduction, analysis of publications. The traditional scheme of the capacitor storage charge comprises two main components: a voltage step-up transformer and rectifier (Fig. 1,a). Not stopping on description of the efficiency and highly successful examples of the long exploitation of the different electrical engineering devices, it should note this scheme is not without shortcomings. Among the most significant shortcomings, the real performance cumbersome is the main (including weight and overall dimensions, electronic components, etc.) and its relatively high cost [1, 2].
So-called step-by-step charging systems for capacitor banks are devoid of these shortcomings. The effectiveness of this charge is based on the «portioned» pumping of the capacitive electromagnetic energy by the voltage pulses the amplitude of which increases in time [3, 4].
However, how it follows from a priori phenomenol-ogical considerations the practical possibilities of scheme with the immediate implementation of the step-by-step charging are quite limited.
According to the physical point of view the above mentioned limitations are caused by the fact when the next charging voltage pulse comes to the capacitance input a discharge is occurring simultaneously. Upon the reaching of a balance between the incoming electromagnetic energy level and the level of its loss the charging process must stop, and the amplitude of the voltage on the capacitance (as well as the stored energy!) should be remained unchanged.
The aim of the article is estimating the limit possibilities of step-by-step charging the capacitive energy storage which are caused by the achievement of a balance
among the processes of the receiving and losing of electromagnetic energy.
The calculated relationships, the numerical estimates. At the beginning a brief description of the step-by-step charging scheme for the capacitor energy storage which was adopted as a calculation model and was shown at the Fig. 1,b will be given.

This scheme consists of 2 major blocks: 1 - inductance L (a block of energy charging) which could be presented by DC or rectified voltage source with an amplitude U0 and 2 - a block which transforms a pre-stored magnetic energy into electrical energy capacitor storage C (R0 and R - are current-limiting resistors).
Initially, the switch K1 is closed, K2 - open. Through the resistor R0 the signal from the voltage source U0 enters in the loop circuit 1 and charges the inductive storage L.
Upon reaching the maximum accumulated magnetic energy the key K1 is being opened and the key K2 is being closed. The transformation of inductance energy L into capacitive energy C is occurring. The capacitor is being charged up to some voltage level that is equal to the sum of the initial value and of some increment.
At the end of the charge switch K2 is opened and the switch K1 is closed. The circuit takes up the initial state and the above described process is being repeated.
In solving the problem according to the formulated aim the mathematical apparatus of the electrical circuit theory was used [5].
Leaving out the details of integrating the differential equation which describes the transition process in the circuit blocks 1 and the necessary mathematical transformations the final expression for the current in the inductor can be wrote.

After time to t > 3-r0 in accordance with (1) J(t)^Jm = U0 I R0. It means the current and the electromagnetic energy are achieving their maximum.
Further, in accordance with the description of the processes in the step-by-step charging scheme in Fig. 1 the charge of the capacitor storage C is occurring.
Similarly to the above the details integrating of the equation of the transition process in the circuit 2 (for open K1 and closed K2) were omitted, and the final expression for the voltage on the capacitance UC(t) was written.
initial value of the voltage on the capacitance in the same charging cycle is the result of accumulation process starting with the voltage of the external source U0 during the previous cycles it is possible to write UC0 = NU0.

The dependence (5) is the solution of the formulated aim. It fixes the limiting number of the possible cycles of the capacitor storage charge to achieve the maximum voltage value, which is the highest for the given parameters of the system.
Numerical estimates.
Let us, it is necessary to charge the capacitive energy storage C =1200 ^.F of the magnetic pulse plant up to Uc0 = 2.2 kV by the AC source U0 = 220 V. An active circuit resistance of the branch with the magnetic energy inductive storage is R0 = 0.1 Ohm. [1].
It is necessary to find the next data:
• the required quantity of charging cycles N;
• the value of inductance that ensures the implementation of the step-by-step charging process L;
• the maximum charge current of the inductive storage
Jm;
• time of achievement of the maximum inductor current tL.
From (5) we find the required number of charge cycles:

The value of inductance that ensures the implementation of the step-by-step charging process is also determined by (5)

Thus, the charge up of capacity C = 1200 ^F up to 2.2 kV with mains voltage equaled to ~ 220 V can be carried out during 10 cycles of the step-by-step charge, with a maximum charging current in the inductance circuit ~ 2.2 kA. The necessary voltage level could be achieved in ~ 0.036 s.
