Marx Generator - High voltage pulse generator

What is MarX Generator?

• Marx Generator is Electrical circuit which used for generate high voltage pulse.

• Marx generator is same as like voltage multiplier circuit.

• First watch the video of marx generator..

• Marx Generator produce high voltage Spark as like lightning.

• Now learn how to make marx generator...

• Circuit Diagram of marx generator circuit is shown in below image.

Circuit Diagram of marx Generator

• Here, First capacitor are connected in parallel.

• When DC supply is applied, capacitors charge through resistor by voltage Vc.

• Spark gaps use as a switch, Here first spark gap voltage is greater than the voltage Vc. So spark gaps are behave as a open circuit during capacitor charge.

• Now to generate high voltage pulse, The first spark gap need to be breakdown.

• So, By breakdown spark gap will be short circuit and first two capacitor come in parallel and we get 2Vc voltage.

• Then now they cause breakdown at third spark gap, so third capacitor come in series with first two capacitors.

• This process make be so on to the last and last gap connect the output to load, here output voltage must be nVc, where n is the number of capacitor which connected in parallel.

• So, At last gap we gain high voltage pulse.

• Voltage multiplier circuit work as a same principle but difference is steady high voltage as output in voltage multiplier circuit and pulse as a output in marx generator.

• I shown below real image of marx generator which placed in Russia.
