Abstract: In vivo studies of tumor-cell apoptosis induced by nanosecond pulsed electric field require high-voltage nanosecond pulses delivered to the biological tissues. In this paper, a newly developed all-solid-state nanosecond pulse generator based on the Marx generator concept is proposed for this application. The generator comprises four parts: a dc charging power, a solid-state Marx circuit using metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, a control circuit using a field-programmable gate array, and the load. This generator has the capability of producing repetitive pulses with a voltage up to 8 kV, pulsewidth of 200-1000 ns, rise time of 35 ns, and repetition rate of 1-1000 Hz with various resistive loads and 1-kV dc input voltage. The all-solid-state design makes the generator compact and reliable. Initial experiments were carried out to verify the performances of the proposed generator.

TL;DR: In this article, a superconducting inductive pulsed power supply (PS) with Marx generator methodology was developed. And the characteristics and simulation results of the PS are described.
Abstract: We have been developing an inductive pulsed power supply (PS) consisting of several superconducting pulsed power transformers with Marx generator methodology. Each of these pulsed power transformers consists of a copper secondary winding and a high-temperature superconducting primary winding. In order to obtain a high-voltage impulse, the Marx generator should be charged via the parallel connection of capacitors and discharged via a series connection. In contrast, this superconducting pulsed PS is excited in series connection of superconducting primary windings and discharged in the parallel connection to obtain a large pulsed electric current. Our preliminary experiment result showed that the process of one transformer module was correct. In this paper, the characteristics and simulation results of the superconducting inductive pulsed PS are described.

TL;DR: Decomposition of formaldehyde (HCHO) by a microplasma reactor in order to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) was achieved andmicroplasma driven by the Marx Generator did not generate NOx as detected by a chemiluminescence NOx analyzer.
Abstract: Decomposition of formaldehyde (HCHO) by a microplasma reactor in order to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) was achieved. HCHO was removed from air using one pass through reactor treatment (5 L/min). From an initial concentration of HCHO of 0.7 ppm about 96% was removed in one pass treatment using a discharge power of 0.3 W provided by a high voltage amplifier and a Marx Generator with MOSFET switches as pulsed power supplies. Moreover microplasma driven by the Marx Generator did not generate NOx as detected by a chemiluminescence NOx analyzer. In the case of large volume treatment the removal ratio of HCHO (initial concentration: 0.5 ppm) after 60 minutes was 51% at 1.2 kV when using HV amplifier considering also a 41% natural decay ratio of HCHO. The removal ratio was 54% at 1.2 kV when a Marx Generator energized the electrodes with a 44% natural decay ratio after 60 minutes of treatment.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel repetitive frequency steep front pulse generator is proposed based on the topology of a three-stage magnetic pulse compressor followed by a three stage Marx generator, in which conventional spark gaps are replaced by magnetic switches.
Abstract: In this paper, a novel repetitive frequency steep front pulse generator is proposed. Based on the topology of a three-stage magnetic pulse compressor followed by a three-stage Marx generator, in which conventional spark gaps are replaced by magnetic switches, the generator realizes a repetitive frequency of 1 kHz, an output pulse magnitude of 17 kV, and a rise time of 80 ns. Dielectric barrier discharge driven by it has also been conducted; voltage and current waveforms along with a gas discharge image have been presented. Calculation of air gap voltage and barrier voltage, and discharge current and displacement current shows that two discharges of opposite polarity occur in one voltage pulse and the secondary discharge consumes much lower energy than the first one.

TL;DR: Results show that this tool is a promising alternative to the other flat fielding techniques, and the recent addition of a pulsed laser to trigger the spark gap has reduced the jitter to ∼5 ns.
Abstract: Gated and streaked x-ray detectors generally require corrections in order to counteract instrumental effects in the data. The method of correcting for gain variations in gated cameras fielded at National Ignition Facility (NIF) is described. Four techniques for characterizing the gated x-ray detectors are described. The current principal method of characterizing x-ray instruments is the production of controlled x-ray emission by laser-generated plasmas as a dedicated shot at the NIF. A recently commissioned pulsed x-ray source has the potential to replace the other characterization systems. This x-ray source features a pulsed power source consisting of a Marx generator, capacitor bank that is charged in series and discharged in parallel, producing up to 300 kV. The pulsed x-ray source initially suffered from a large jitter (∼60 ns), but the recent addition of a pulsed laser to trigger the spark gap has reduced the jitter to ∼5 ns. Initial results show that this tool is a promising alternative to the other flat fielding techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2 MV twelve stage Marx generator, with a standardized lightning impulse with 1.2/50 µs rise/decay time to half-maximum when unloaded, delivers the high voltage air breakdown.
Abstract: The detection of hard radiation emanating from an electrical discharge in air is still a mysterious phenomenon. This thesis focuses on collecting experimental data around spark condition that could lead to the production of energetic photon bursts. Long spark discharges with positive and negative polarity in air are studied. We accurately measure the electrical currents on both electrodes during the formation of the discharge. The Xrays are detected with scintillation detectors, time synchronized with the electrical parameters. Bursts up to several 100 keV photons are observed. The advantage of ‘laboratory lightning’ is the controlled environment that allows to study the distribution of the X-rays in space and time. The experiments are performed in the high voltage laboratory at Eindhoven University of Technology. A 2 MV twelve stage Marx generator, with a standardized lightning impulse with 1.2/50 µs rise/decay time to half-maximum when unloaded, delivers the high voltage air breakdown. A 9 m tall 1:2000 capacitive high voltage divider (part of the waveshaping circuit) is used to monitor the voltage waveform produced by the Marx generator. The generator is connected to a spark gap with two conical electrodes at distances varying between 0.76 and 1.46 m. The current at the grounded electrode is measured by a Pearson current probe. An identical probe around the high voltage electrode was connected through a fiber optical data transmission system for electrical isolation. Electromagnetic disturbance from the discharge itself was reduced to a negligible level in the measurements by proper design of the cables and protection equipment. Fast X-ray detectors with good energy resolution are imperative for reliable X-ray registrations. We use conventional NaI(Tl), nanosecond fast BaF2 and two newly developed LaBr3(Ce+) scintillation detectors, all with suitable photomultiplier integrated. Later the DTU National Space Institute assisted in the experiments with a test Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor detector intended for the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) project. In early measurements partial discharges at unexpected positions occurred that could also produce X-rays. This effect could be controlled by covering sharp protrusions with conducting foil. The currents measured through both electrodes differ substantially during the firsts few microseconds. This is caused by the Ramo-Shockley effect. In the development phase of the discharge a charge cloud developed around the high voltage electrode and most of the associated electric field lines end in the environment of the grounded electrode, but not on the electrode. Through this current difference between both electrodes it was possible to tell where burst of X-rays are formed. For both polarities of the high voltage, the bursts of X-rays are associated with the negative streamer formation at the cathode. For positive polarity surges X-ray bursts detected coincide with the onset of the upward negative streamer prior to the bridging of the electrode distance. In the case of negative polarity surges X-ray bursts coincide with the negative streamers immediately at the onset of the spark formation. No X-rays have been detected during the large current of the gap breakdown. At gap breakdown both currents become equal. In a parallel investigation we confirmed that the LaBr3(Ce+) scintillation detector suited best for our experimental study because of the short decay time compared with NaI(Tl) and the better energy resolution compared with BaF2. Still, we found that pile-up of multiple photons and/or electrons can occur in the LaBr3(Ce+) detectors in the 23 ns of the 1/e decay. The LaBr3(Ce+) detector has been calibrated and tested for its linearity at photon energies between 59.5 and 2505 keV, employing photomultiplier bias voltages from 568 up to 1000 V. Preliminary X-ray measurements with a small CZT semiconductor detector gave no conclusive results due to the poor detection events (6 out of 100) obtained. Additional experiments with a larger detector for higher detection rates are recommended for a better understanding of the particle distributions involved. An additional experiment was carried out to confirm the emission of X-ray during the streamer phase of an electrical discharge in air. Streamer filaments were produced in a small streamer-corona reactor with nanosecond high voltage pulses up to 65 kV with an optional 20 kVdc offset. The short high voltage pulse period prevents the streamers to develop into an air breakdown. The LaBr3(Ce+) scintillation detector recorded X-rays from the streamer filaments with very consistent timing of occurrences. This proves that processes near the streamers heads are able to produce X-rays. Various results were presented at a number of international conferences and workshops. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 have been published in Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of component choices on the current and charge through the Test-Object at a breakdown is discussed and the need to add additional resistors in the load circuit, to prevent high current oscillations, is addressed.
Abstract: Impulse Voltage Test Systems based on a Marx multiplier circuit are often used to simulate lightning impulses to test electrical components and systems. The Impulse Voltage Generator (IVG) or Marx generator is the heart of the system and comes in many shapes and sizes but the basic circuit has, since the invention by Erwin Otto Marx in 1924, not radically changed. When testing to relevant International Standards, the pulse shape of the IVG output voltage is clearly defined, but the allowed stress imposed on the Test-Object, when a breakdown would occurs, is not prescribed in any way. In modern IVG designs, we see that substantially larger impulse capacitors are used compared to units build some years ago. It is demonstrated that because of this design change, the charge through the Test-Object, after a breakdown, has become substantially higher. As the conditioning or de-conditioning of Vacuum Interrupters (VI's) is strongly related to the breakdown charge, the question raises if the pass or fail probability during impulse voltage testing would be IVG dependent. At first, the basic IVG circuit is looked at. After that, the impact of component choices on the current and charge through the Test-Object at a breakdown is discussed. Also the need to add additional resistors in the load circuit, to prevent high current oscillations, is addressed. Finally, a number of IVG's in service in various test labs around the world has been compared and it is shown that the stress imposed on the Test-Object when a breakdown would occur varies widely from lab-to-lab.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a very compact high-voltage resonant pulsed transformer to drive a dipole antenna, which can produce high-power electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 555 kV/265 ns pulses.
Abstract: Nowadays, a broad range of modern defense applications requires compact pulsed power generators to produce high-power electromagnetic waves. In a conventional design, such generators consist of a primary energy source and an antenna, separated by a power-amplification system, such as a Marx generator or a Tesla transformer, which forwards the energy from the source to the antenna. The present system, however, uses a novel and very compact high-voltage resonant pulsed transformer to drive a dipole antenna. The complete pulsed power source, termed MOUNA (French acronym for “Module Oscillant Utilisant une Nouvelle Architecture”), is composed of a set of batteries, a dc/dc converter for charging four capacitors, four synchronized spark gap switches, a resonant pulsed transformer that can generate 555 kV/265 ns pulses, an oil peaking switch and, during preliminary testing, a dipole antenna. The paper not only provides design details for each system component, but also presents the mechanical arrangement of the complete pulsed power system and the electrical diagnostics, particularly those related to measurement of the resonant transformer output waveform, the line oscillations, and the radiated electric field.

TL;DR: In this article, a table-top Ar+8-laser excited by discharges with relatively low current and voltage (I ≤ 20 kA, U ≤ 200 kV) in long (L ∼ 0.5 m) capillaries is demonstrated.
Abstract: The present study is focused on the demonstration of the most critical parameters of the pumping scheme of a table-top Ar+8-laser excited by discharges with relatively low current and voltage (I ≤ 20 kA, U ≤ 200 kV) in long (L ∼ 0.5 m) capillaries. The most critical parameters of the pumping scheme were analyzed and then adjusted experimentally. The table-top size is attributed to the use of a low-inductance co-axial discharge configuration that decreases the voltage and current necessary for laser excitation. Low inductance is achieved by using a capillary, water-capacitor and water spark-gap placed into a chamber filled with deionized water. The capillary z-pinch is produced by the water capacitor, which is pulse-charged by a six-stage Marx generator, optimized for the low-inductance discharge configuration. Optimization is performed by adjusting the value of the charging inductance and the peak charging voltage with a water spark-gap. At the optimal conditions laser pulses with a Gaussian-like intensity distribution and divergence angle ∼ 1 mrad and energy ∼ 10 μJ are generated. The physical method for generation of a laser beam with such parameters is based on the use of a long (L = 0.45 m) capillary plasma (© 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

TL;DR: A modular semiconductor-based pulse generator in combination with a transformer has been developed in order to generate the trigger pulses and apply them to one spark gap of a Marx generator.
Abstract: Overvoltage triggering of a spark gap enables a synchronized operation of several Marx generators in repetitive operation without an increased wear of the electrodes. In order to generate the trigger pulses and apply them to one spark gap of a Marx generator, a modular semiconductor-based pulse generator in combination with a transformer has been developed. As the power required for triggering depends on stage voltage and stray capacitance values of the Marx generator, a modular setup enables an easy adaptation of the trigger generator design to different types of Marx generators. The trigger generator consists of several stacked stages, each equipped with its own power supply and pulse generator on stage potential. Each stage is supplied by the charging current of the Marx generator. This paper describes the new design of the trigger generator and compares it to the already existing design of a compact trigger generator.

TL;DR: A novel design scheme for voltage droop compensation in solid-state based bipolar Marx generators, using low-cost circuitry design and control, is described.
Abstract: This paper addresses the voltage droop compensation associated with long pulses generated by solid-stated based high-voltage Marx topologies. In particular a novel design scheme for voltage droop compensation in solid-state based bipolar Marx generators, using low-cost circuitry design and control, is described. The compensation consists of adding one auxiliary PWM stage to the existing Marx stages, without changing the modularity and topology of the circuit, which controls the output voltage and a LC filter that smoothes the voltage droop in both the positive and negative output pulses. Simulation results are presented for 5 stages Marx circuit using 1 kV per stage, with 1 kHz repetition rate and 10% duty cycle.

Abstract: The paper presents a 500 kV all-solid-state Marx generator adopting Z type circuit. In this Marx generator, twenty-eight isolated gate bipolar transistors(IGBTs) serial modules were utilized as controllable switches. The maximum working voltage of each IGBTs module was designed as high as 22 kV, and the repetition rate at full load condition was designed as high as 200 Hz. The ladder type pulse-forming-networks (PFNs) consisting of metallized film capacitors and wound inductors were designed as energy storage and pulse-forming components. Experimental results indicate that the Marx generator can run with 500 kV output pulses and 50 Hz repetition rate in burst-mode successfully. The peak output pulse voltage of this generator is approximately the same as that of the highest power solid-state Marx generator ever reported, while the peak current is almost twice, reaching 1 000 A. The maximum pulsed power of the generator is as high as 500 MW. As the capacitors were utilized as energy storage components, the pulse width can be adjusted from 3 s to 10 s continuously.

TL;DR: In this article, the trigger pulses are generated by means of a pulse generator consisting of several stacked stages, which are equipped with IGBTs as opening switches, and a pulse transformer serves as intermediate energy storage.
Abstract: Over-voltage triggering of a spark gap enables a synchronized operation of several Marx generators in repetitive operation without an increased wear of the electrodes. The trigger pulses are generated by means of a pulse generator consisting of several stacked stages, which are equipped with IGBTs as opening switches. A pulse transformer serves as intermediate energy storage. It replaces one charging coil between the first and second stage of the Marx generator and couples the trigger pulses into the Marx circuit causing an over-voltage across the 1st stage's spark gap. The number of stages of the trigger generator can be varied in order to adapt the trigger generator to different Marx generator designs with varying stray capacitance and breakdown voltage of the spark gap. The paper describes the design of the trigger generator and presents the results of tests.

Abstract: This paper presents modelling and analysis of peaking switch used in Marx generator, such that the rise time of the pulse produced by the Marx generator is reduced substantially. Towards this FEMM (Finite Element Methods Magnetics) software is used for the field modelling of the switch and MATLAB for circuit modelling to observe the rise time. The switch has to produce pulse with sub-nanosecond rise time, hence the electrode distance has to be minimum. This switch can withstand high voltage only under high pressure. A mathematical model is simulated in MATLAB to see the performance under high pressure.
