Abstract :
The authors use a circuit model for GREC´s pulse charge to explain in a simple way the prepulse´s origins. Based on this modeling and some computations, they have modified the Marx bank´s discharge circuit to reduce the prepulse. This approach has more than halved the prepulse, from 1.5 MV to 0.6 MV.
