Abstract
An ignitron-switched impulse generator has been developed, capable of providing a variable output voltage of from 0.6 to 90 kV with no circuit alterations. The generator consists of 6 capacitor stages, yielding a total energy of 5000 J at 90 kV, and is discharged with a single trigger pulse. The discharge time can be controlled to within 0.1 μsec.
