A Compact Fast Marx Generator with Repetition Rate 10Hz

A compact fast Marx generator has been designed, built and tested. The generator is made of 10 inductively isolated capacitor stages. All the capacitors and switches are placed in a stainless steel about 400 mm diameter and 500 mm high. The cylinder is filled with SF₆ and N₂ gas so as to enhance the insulation ability. The output voltage of the generator achieve to 300 kV with a repetition 10Hz. The risetime of the pulse is about 15 nanoseconds with a water resistance about 50 Ohm.
