With the development of electromagnetic launch (EML) technology, the pulsed power supply (PPS) module applied in EML needs to be smaller, lighter, and more compact. Electromagnetic force (EMF) is one of the most serious problems when PPS module works with high current. In this paper, we study the PPS module used in EML technology. The pulsed inductor model is built based on structure characteristics. The distribution of current density in the inductor during discharge is analyzed. The finite element analysis software is used to simulate and analyze the characteristics of the induction current and the EMF. The simulation model is composed of inductor and metals structures. The EMF laws are put forward by simulation of different shaped metals at different positions. By analyzing the distribution of the eddy current and EMF on the metal conductors at different positions, the EMF laws between the inductor and metal conductors in PPS module are presented in this paper.
