Development of a 50 Hz, 250 KV, 500 Ns, 500 KW Average Power Pulser

摘要

This paper describes the development of a 50 Hz research pulser with per shot specifications of 250 kV, 500 ns FWHM, 10 kJ. It is designed for burst mode service. The pulser is a two element Guillemin Type C pulse forming network with two parallel Marx generators serving as the first element and a single Marx generator serving as the second element. This paper will consider the two Marx generators of the first element only and will outline the important ongoing developmental areas. (ERA citation 05:029534)
