SUPPORTING COMPONENTS
In support of our Marx generators, we offer a wide variety of supporting electronics and diagnostics, including:
• integrated power supplies
• high rep rate trigger generators
• integrated low rep rate trigger generators
• custom loads
• integrated high speed diagnostic probes
 

The APELC HRR-TU-18kV-500Hz is a robust, rack-mount unit designed for a variety of Marx based trigger applications. The HRR-TU is based on a thyratron pulse-forming circuit that is simple, reliable, and extremely fast. The trigger unit facilitates pulse charging of both the thyratron and any Marx generator. The pulse charging mode of operation minimizes high voltage DC degrading effects (e.g. corona) and provides a safer high voltage environment.

Additionally, the trigger unit provides LED indicators on the front panel for notification of thyratron conditions. Two key system diagnostics, Marx Analog Out and Thyratron Analog Out are available on the front panel of the trigger unit. These two waveforms can be easily monitored on any 1- M? oscilloscope channel by connecting to the BNC jacks on the front panel.

APELC's power supply for rapid capacitor charging, model PS-RCC-8-10 represents a revolution in capacitor charging for Marx generators. Designed as a turnkey solution to drive the APELC's family of Marx generators at high repetition rates, this component offers performance enhancements comparable to larger, bench-top supplies.
