Abstract

This paper discusses a novel multiple-switch pulsed power technology. By using transmission lines, multiple switches can be synchronized like in a MARX generator. To gain insight into this technology, an equivalent circuit model was developed, a two-switch experimental setup and a prototype pulsed power source with four gas spark- gap switches have been constructed. The four-switch setup includes 16 coaxial cables, four in parallel in each stage. This setup has been operated at a repetition rate of 50 pps with over 1.4 kA switching current. The principle, experimental setup and experiment results will be given in this paper.
