Research of compact repetitive pulsed power system based on Marx generator

By adopting Marx generator technology, a compact repetitive pulsed power system has been developed which consists of a high power repetitive power supply and a Marx generator. By utilizing inverter, resonance, 10-stage step boost, rectification and output in series, a high power repetitive power supply has been designed and tested which can transform 300V DC. to 100kV DC and charge the capacitor to 100kV repetitively. The Marx generator consists of 16 stages with integrated folder configuration. Each stage consists of three 20nF capacitors in parallel. By integrating the Marx with the high power repetitive power supply. A compact repetitive pulsed power system has been developed and tested. We have obtained 5 pulses with repetition rate of 5Hz on a 14Ω load. The peak voltage and peak power are more than 700kV and 35GW respectively.
