Marx Generator
MG18-9C-2600PF-PFN
Part Number: MG18-9C-2600PF-PFN
Built for testing and deployment, the new MG18-9C-2600PF-PFN Marx Generator features a compact, rugged, air-insulated >100 Joules PFN Marx generator for mobile HPM platforms. Unique to this system, the design provides the pulse shape for efficiently driving HPM loads in a compact form-factor. The generator requires no oil or Sulfur Hexaflouride (SF6)-only compressed dry air insulation, making it lighter weight, easier to maintain, and compliant with environmental regulations
