Abstract :
Summary form only given. We designed a compact repetitive Marx generator. The Marx generator contains 25 stages consisted with capactor banks and spark gap switches. We used door knob ceramic capacitors. The capacitors are charged through inductors by a capacitor charging power supply. The length and the diameter of the Marx generator are about 150 cm and 60 cm, respectively. We conducted a preliminary test at the condiction of low charging voltage using helium gas. We present the characteristic of the Marx generator and discuss the design issues such as the insulation of a high voltage feedthrough.
