Simulative and Experimental Research of High Isolate High Voltage Pulsed Power Supply

A high amplitude, fast rising time, and high isolating strength trigger signal is needed for triggering spark gap switch. A high voltage power supply scheme was verified by means of simulation in this paper. Proper parameters of power supply circuit were selected according to the simulation result. Finally, a pulsed power supply was developed. The experimental results show that a negative pulse with 25 kV isolating strength and 15 kV amplitude can be generated by the power supply, and this generated negative pulse can meet the demand of triggering spark gap switch.
