PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS TOWARD A 500KV SOLID STATE MARX MODULATOR

This paper examines in closer detail the practical advantages and pitfalls of a solid-state Marx configuration, and explores a design approach with emphasis on performance, wall-plug efficiency, cost of manufacture, availability and ease of service. The paper presents electrical diagrams, mechanical CAD layout and preliminary prototype test data.
