Marx Generator
MG30-1C-100NF
Part Number: MG30-1C-100NF
The MG30-1C-100NF coaxial Marx Generator is a 30-stage generator with 100 nF of capacitance per stage. Its applications include material breakdown studies and high-power microwaves (HPM).
The maximum charge voltage is 20 kV per stage, which corresponds to a matched-impedance load voltage of 300 kV onto 45 Ohms.
CHARACTERISTICS
