Marx Generator
MG10-1C-150NF
Part Number: MG10-1C-150NF
The MG10-1C-150NF is a robust Marx Generator developed for breakdown and flashover studies using a MIL-STD-188-125 E1 waveform when an internal 60 Ohm resistor is used. An internal peaking circuit allows the generator to meet the <20 ns rise-time requirement of the MIL-STD. Because of its rise-time, pulse-width, and relatively low impedance, the generator was identified as a potential source for HPM loads.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Maximum open circuit voltage: 350 kV
- Voltage into 60 Ohms: 350 kV
- Maximum peak voltage into matched load: 175 kV
- Maximum repetition rate: 10 Hz
- Energy per pulse: 920 J
- Internal peaking circuit
- Pulse rise-time: <20 ns
- Pulse-width (FWHM): ~500 ns
- Optional internal 60 Ohm load
