  • Abstract
    This paper presents the topology of the high voltage, pulsed converter using transformer parasitic parameters. The converter uses solid-state switches and generates (in no load conditions) a voltage pulse with an amplitude of 20 kV with 5kV supply. The steepness of the voltage rise without load is 1.36 kV/ns and the pulse duration is less than 100ns.
