Article Synopsis
- The paper outlines the design and operation of a solid-state high voltage pulse generator intended to trigger a gaseous spark gap with high precision.
- The generator is specifically built to achieve a risetime of around 0.1 kV/ns, effectively activating the first stage of a 10-stage, 500 kV Marx generator.
- Key components include a 60 W constant current DC-DC converter, a 4 kV thyristor, a pulse transformer, and a magnetic switch, resulting in a risetime of less than 30 ns and a pulse magnitude of 4 kV.
