How does a Marx generator work?
A Marx generator is a type of electrical circuit whose purpose is to generate a high-voltage pulse by a number of capacitors that are charged in parallel and then connected in series by spark gap switches.
What is the output of resonant transformer?
Single unit Resonant Transformers test systems are built for output voltages up to 500 kV, while cascaded units for outputs up to 3000 kV, 50/60 Hz are available.
What is capacitor discharge generator?
This project shows how single pulses of high voltage are generated when the charged Capacitor is suddenly discharged through the low-voltage windings of the Transformer. This action is used in capacitor-discharge automotible ignition systems.
What is the highest voltage is available in HV Lab?

How does impulse generator work?
The apparatus which produces the required voltages is the impulse generator. In most impulse generators, certain capacitors are charged in parallel through high series resistances, and then discharged through a combination of resistors and capacitors, giving rise to the required surge waveform across the test device.
What is the use of an external trigger in a pulse generator?
Pulse trigger: Using an external waveform, it is possible to trigger the pulse generator. Pulse triggering can normally occur on either the negative or positive edge via a selection switch. Pulse delay: When a pulse is triggered it is normal to be able to select a delay for the pulse from the pulse generator.
Is resonant a transformer?
A resonant transformer is a transformer in which one or both windings has a capacitor across it and functions as a tuned circuit. Used at radio frequencies, resonant transformers can function as high Q factor bandpass filters.
