  • Abstract
    A Marx circuit is a type of electrical circuit first described by Erwin Marx in 1924, whose purpose is to generate a high voltage pulse. It is extensively used for simulating the effects of lightning in electrical equipment testing. In this paper we proposed an attempt to replace the spark gap used in Marx circuit by using thyristor.
