Abstract
A transformer-charged electron beam generator has been developed. The system is designed to operate with up to 500 kV on a water-dielectric pulse-forming line (PFL) and to generate a 100 kA, 30 ns electron beam. The transformer charging supply replaces a 12-stage Marx generator and reduces the size, weight, and complexity of the system. It also eliminates the need for a large insulating-oil supply. A description of the physical features of the machine is included along with a discussion of the electrical characteristics of the system.
