Abstract
A 1 Hz, 6 kJ, 440 kV field-transportable, repetitive Marx generator was constructed using commercially available hardware, an existing DC power supply, and a few machined plastic parts. The generator was designed and built in three months. The authors review the options considered before choosing the Marx design, and they discuss the use of commercially available hardware in the Marx generator´s construction. Operating results are also considered
