At APELC, we specialize in Marx Generators and other pulsed power systems. These systems are characterized by their ability to generate high-voltage/high peak-power pulses of electrical energy [...]

After our last blog entry, “5 Things to Know About Pulse Power” in which we covered some of the origins of pulse power, I received some feedback from the corner office. Our CEO brought up a few [...]

In November of 2020, The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published a publicly-available document titled, “High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse Hardening Pilot Projects: Status and Future [...]

In the realm of electrical engineering, pulsed power systems have gained prominence for their ability to generate fast-transients at high-voltages and currents. These systems find applications in [...]

During the ongoing war in Ukraine, both sides have exploited the use of cheap, commercially available drone technology for use against their adversary. Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) [...]

In 2006, APELC received a request from Lockheed Martin for a MIL-STD-461, RS-105 EMP test system. After analysis of the MIL-STD, we decided this was something well within our wheelhouse and [...]

We are making a slight departure from our usual tech-focused blog entries to focus on an important upcoming event (with a bit of tech still mixed in). APELC’s very own Matt Lara was invited to be [...]

This entry into APELC’s blog series is a look-back at 2022 as well as a look forward at the exciting things happening in 2023. 2022 was a fantastic year for APELC marked by the sale and [...]

Did you know that APELC supports the commercial fusion industry by providing pulsed power systems and components. At one point, fusion energy was continuously 30-50 years out from being a viable [...]

Back in June I posted a blog discussing what made APELC Marx Generators special, which included a description of Marx generators and then discussed how APELC designs our Marxes to have tailored [...]
