MG40-3C-2700PF
PART NUMBER: MG40-3C-2700PF
The MG40-3C-2700PF is a megavolt-class Marx Generator that was originally designed to drive an integrated flash X-ray diode.
With a maximum 40 kV charge voltage, this generator has an open-circuit voltage of 1.6 MV, and can deliver 800 kV into a matched load (70 Ohms), or 670 kV into a 50 Ohm load. This generator has a maximum pulse energy of 260 J and is capable of delivering more than 10 GW of peak power.
Characteristics:
- Maximum open-circuit voltage: 1.6 MV
- Maximum peak voltage into matched load: 800 kV
- Maximum repetition rate: 10 Hz
- Peak power (matched load): 10 GW
- Energy per pulse: 260 J
- Pulse rise-time: ~5 ns
