Abstract:In solid-state high-voltage pulse generators, switches may be triggered on by fault due to electromagnetic interference, resulting in high through current and breakdown of switches. To generate rectangular high-voltage pulses, this paper proposes a solid-state Marx generator (SSMG) with fast recovery diodes to prevent through current. Only charging currents with the same direction flow through these fast recovery diodes breaks the short-circuit loops in and between stages. A 52-stage SSMG prototype based on th… Show more
